Lesson 2: variable newPerson of type People

[Tyham3]

Hi all
i have a simple question, what's the difference between this two 'newPerson' variable if they have the same exact output ?
1:
function addPerson(string memory _name, uint256 _favoriteNumber) public {
People memory newPerson = People({favoriteNumber: _favoriteNumber, name: _name});
people.push(newPerson);
}
2:
function addPerson(string memory _name, uint256 _favoriteNumber) public {
People memory newPerson = People(_favoriteNumber, _name);
people.push(newPerson);
}

The first function is just easier to understand especially when working with more complex structs with many fields.

In the first function, the newPerson variable is being created using the syntax{favoriteNumber: _favoriteNumber, name: _name}which explicitly sets the values for the favoriteNumber and name fields of the struct.

In the second function, the newPerson variable is being created using the syntax People(_favoriteNumber, _name) which implicitly sets the values for the favoriteNumber and name fields of the struct based on the order they are defined in the struct.
