in reply to Re^2: using function output ananymous array vs. named array in foreach
in thread using function output ananymous array vs. named array in foreach

for the sake of simplicity, brevity (and less duration of memory footprint), I'll use the anonymous array method.

Neither of your OP snippets uses an anonymous array.

Your function returns a list, which you either: assign to an array which you then process using for; or you process the list directly with for.

But yes, there is no purpose to assigning to the array, unless you needed to retain the returned values beyond the loop.
