Clarification on Flatten() vs .flat vs. recurse()

[Taylor Akin]

Hello!

Even after reading through some posts and the documentation, I'm a little fuzzy on what the differences and benefits in flatten(), recurse(), and .flat are. Could someone help clarify what the differences are and/or when you might use one instead of the other?

Thank you!

.flatten() replaced .flat recently. They are the same but .flat is deprecated. 

Flatten creates a new stream that can be iterated by offset across parts. (Breadth first search). Recurse is an iterator that follows one part first then the next. 

I’m recording a video about the differences next week but apologies that it won’t be available until fall. 

Best,

Michael
