Both addAll and addEntries are methods used with maps, but they serve slightly different purposes:

  • ๐™–๐™™๐™™๐˜ผ๐™ก๐™ก:
    ๐—จ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ: addAll is used to add all key-value pairs from one map to another. It modifies the existing map.
    ๐—”๐—ฟ๐—ด๐˜‚๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ง๐˜†๐—ฝ๐—ฒ: It takes a Map as an argument.
    ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ป ๐—ง๐˜†๐—ฝ๐—ฒ: void (it modifies the existing map).

  • ๐™–๐™™๐™™๐™€๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™ž๐™š๐™จ:
    ๐—จ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ: addEntries is used to create a new map by adding entries from an iterable of MapEntry objects. It does not modify the existing map but creates a new one.
    ๐—”๐—ฟ๐—ด๐˜‚๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ง๐˜†๐—ฝ๐—ฒ: It takes an Iterable> as an argument.
    ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ป ๐—ง๐˜†๐—ฝ๐—ฒ: Map (it returns a new map).

Choose between addAll and addEntries based on whether you want to modify an existing map or create a new one with additional entries. If you want to keep the original maps unchanged and create a new map, use addEntries. If you want to modify an existing map, use addAll.
