nameToFavoriteNumber Explanation

[maxdporter]

In the very last line of the SimpleStorage.sol file, there's this line of code:

"nameToFavoriteNumber[_name] = _favoriteNumber;"

can someone explain how what this line means and how it works?

Hello @maxdporter
nameToFavoriteNumber is a mapping which links to type of data (string and unit) so you are assigning it using the _name as the index and the _favoriteNumber as input. Look at this: https://medium.com/upstate-interactive/mappings-in-solidity-explained-in-under-two-minutes-ecba88aff96e i would help you a lot to understand how it works.
