They are both Sharp (#) and Flat (b).
For instance A "C" sharp is the same note as a "D" flat.
Which note is used in the written music is depending on the key in which they are being played in.
When writing music, you try to use each letter ("ABCDEFG") only once for the key you are in. This is to keep each note on it's own separate line or space on the music staff.
So lets say you are playing F major (F G A Bb C D E F). You would use Bb instead of A# so that the "A" would not be used twice.
However, in a B major scale (B C# D# E F# G# A# B), you would use A#. In that case, the A# is the same note as the Bb, but in music notation, they will be different notes so that each note is only used once.
Hope this helps.

A sharp on the piano could be black notes or white ones. A sharp is note that is half a step above the natural note. A natural note is any of the white notes on your piano. For example if you played the G key on your piano you would be playing G natural. If you played the white note on the right of G you would be playing A. If you played the black note on the right of G in between G and A you would be playing G sharp or A flat. Hope that answers your question a sharp is half a step above a note and any of the black notes on the piano are one notes sharp and another notes flat. for example, E sharp would be F natural, a white key.
If you look at the black keys they are grouped in 2's and 3's. Now look at the group of 3. F-sharp is the black key in the group of 3 that is farthest left.
