Mar 6, 2021 at 20:25 comment added mlofton @Xi'an is absolutely correct but, from a non-rigorous point of view ( in case you didn't take measure theory ), you can just think of it as that they left out the term "discrete" and they really meant "discrete probability density function" or "discrete probability mass function".
Mar 6, 2021 at 15:11 comment added Xi'an From a measure theoretic viewpoint, there is not difference. The pmf (probability mass function) is a probability density function (pdf) with respect to the counting measure, that is, the measure that puts weight one on every object in the discrete set.
