electromagnetism - Cylindrical vs azimuthal symmetry


What is the difference between cylindrical and azimuthal symmetry, are they the same?


I have not been able to find a clear explanation of these terms wrt. a cylinder. I need to know which length I should integrate over to solve the problem below.



A cylinder of radius $R$ and length $L$ has a cylindrically symmetric volume charge density of $\rho(x)$. Calculate the total charge on the cylinder.
