It's an assembler directive #< is the low byte of a word (usually an address) while #> is the high byte.

To put in it simple context:

  lda #<address
  sta $80
  lda #>address
  sta $81
  jsr ($81)



address:
  ;Subroutine Here


>and what the diff.

Using # is a constant, your second example is a variable

  zero equ $80

  lda #$10
  sta $80

  ldx #zero
  ldy zero

X=#$80
Y=#$10
