info

The index values for each array match.

Example of Index Values

For example, the first portal is tied to index 0 of the portal ID, portal name, portal description, and portal images. This means that all details for the first portal should be in index 0 of each corresponding array.

Example:

If you have a portal with:

  • Portal ID: "f2f3g3Bd231dlfase"
  • Portal Name: "Fantasy World"
  • Portal Description: "Explore the magical fantasy world."
  • Portal Image: (Sprite of the Fantasy World)

All these details should be placed at index 0 in their respective arrays.

  1. Set your values in the portal ID array, portal name array, portal description array, and portal images array.
