Prisms have 2 bases while a pyramid has 1 base
There are an infinite number of shapes. A tetrahedron (triangular pyramid), a square-based pyramid, a pentagonal pyramid, a hexagonal pyramid, etc. A triangular prism, a rectangular prism (cuboid), a pentagonal prism, etc are some examples.
Some hexahedra are prisms or pyramids.
It could either be a triangular prism or a pentagonal pyramid
A decahedron. Some decahedron shapes are a nonagon-based pyramid, an octagon based prism, or a pentagon based di-pyramid.
the difference between a cone and a prism is that a cone has no edges and only one vertex and a prism has both edges and vertexes.
A cone has a round base and a pyramid has a base with 3 or more angles.

I assume you mean between prism and pyramid. I suggest you look at some picture of prisms and pyramids, to get it perfectly clear. In any case, a prism has the same horizontal cross section from the bottom the top. On the other hand, the lines of a pyramid get together towards the top, to a point. If you take a horizontal cross section, at the base it will be larger, but the closer you get to the top, the smaller such a cross section will be.
The rectangular prism has a rectangular cross-section; the triangular prism has a triangular cross-section. Any other difference would be related to this fact - for example, differences in the formulae for the surface area, for the volume, etc.
an octagonal prism * * * * * No. An octagonal prism has 10 faces. Some of the possible solutions are: A heptagon based pyramid, A hexagonal prism, A rectangular based dipyramid.

Hexagon. Hexagonal prism. Hexagonal pyramid. Hexahedron.
Hexagonal Prism NOT a Hegagonal Pyramid like some people confuse it as. Hegagonal Pyramid
A decahedron. Some decahedron shapes are a nonagon-based pyramid, an octagon based prism, or a pentagon based di-pyramid.
trangular prism NO! A prism has two n-polygonal faces (or bases) "separated" by a set of n rectangles. A pyramid has one n-polygonal face (base), with n triangular faces rising to an apex. Some pyramids do have specific names but in general, they do not.
