Arrays Cause Redundant States
- Using arrays for pizza toppings causes multiple data representations of the same pizza due to order variation.
- This redundancy complicates queries, making it messy and hard to maintain.
Use Sets or Maps for Toppings
- Use a collection that ignores order like a set or a map to represent pizza toppings properly.
- Prefer maps to allow duplicate toppings by storing counts as values.
Equality Semantics Simplify Models
- Maps provide equality semantics where order doesn't affect representation, making pizza models simpler.
- Equality is crucial as it ensures identical pizzas have the same representation regardless of topping order.
