☆Those are both assigned values referring to the definitions, but think of it this way:
●formal charge assigns charge according to the electrons around the nucleus, assuming that electrons in all chemical bonds are shared equally between atoms.
● Well, the oxidation number doesn't go for the same assumption, making that CO2COX2 has for the carbon atom a formal charge of 00 and an oxidation number of +4+4.
