I’m working my way through the Make Academy (which is great) I’m on the intermediate modules but still struggling to detect the difference between collections and arrays. I will return to earlier modules and re-visit these concepts but in the meantime does anyone have an explainlikeimfive way of understanding/remembering the difference?
Hey there,
collections are individual bundles of data, an array is a set of collections combined together for bulk processing.
A collection is more or less a bag of information.
Once you have access to it, you can simply just map fields from a module to another.
When it comes to Array, this object is far more powerful.
You can sort, order, list, filter without any hassle, which is impossible with a Collection.
Check out these Courses in the Academy:
It shall help!
Thanks, appreciated. I think a review of earlier Academy modules is required.
