Re: Question about structure types

one is an array and the other an object(named dictionary). if you noticed the differences in the ( vs. the ". The () indicate just a numerical value and the value will match the index of that entry. with the " the index is happenstance. the value between the quotations is the key of that entry. they could be named anything and the order is not necessary to be sorted like you have there. if you were to use a structure key member on the right structure you could call "23" and it would return that entry. imagine you have a structure instead of being "1", "2", "3", it was "x","y","z". now you can use key member to call the index that has the name X without regard to where in the structure it is.
