What is the advantage of using named properties in code?

Using named properties in code improves the readability and maintainability of the program. Instead of accessing elements by indices or positions, named properties provide clear names that reflect the meaning of the data.

Advantages:

• Enhances understanding of the code by other developers.
• Reduces the likelihood of errors related to incorrect order or indices.
• Facilitates refactoring and extending the code.

Example in PHP:

$user = [
    'name' => 'Ivan',
    'email' => 'ivan@example.com',
];

echo $user['name']; // much clearer than $user[0]
