Point of inflection is where shear force changes sign.
Point of contraflexure is where bending moment changes sign.

Point of inflection is that point where any curve changes it's sign. But point of contraflexure is that point where bending moment changes it's sign.

In which beams con-traflexture points occur?
I need maximum number of con-traflexture points for cantilever, simply supported, propped, overhanging and fixed beams.

Contraflexture means opposite bending means conraflexture is which point these bending is zero there don't any typical bending created its than possible that all these signs of these beam are opposite and beam edge are long.

Note not to confuse between point of contraflexure and point of inflection. Many saying they are same but they are not actually same, they both are different.

#POC is that where the shear force change its sign not bending moment and in this case bending moment is usually the maximum.

Point of Contraflexure is point on bending moment diagram and point of inflection is point on the deflected shape.
POC is the point where bending moment changes sign and POI is the point where curve changes sign (EXP- convex to concave).

A point of contraflexure is the point where the BM curve intersects zero line.

Point of contra flexure is the point where bending moment is zero.
