What is the difference between

```(1..3).asFlow().onEach { number -&gt; println("$number") }.collect()```
And

```(1..3).asFlow().collect { number -&gt; println("$number") }```
Why would I want to use `onEach` when I can use `collect` directly?

They are equivalent. Some people may prefer one to the other. Or, for example, using `onEach` followed by `launchIn` rather than `collect`

No difference, as you already said.
`onEach` is most of the time used in combination with a tail `.launchIn(CoroutineScope)` instead of a surrounding `Coroutinescope.launch { ... }`

Oh ok, I wondered If I was missing something, thank you!

you have the possibility to call other operators like `onStart` or `catch` when using `onEach`

&gt; you have the possibility to call other operators like `onStart` or `catch` when using `onEach`
You can also use those operators with collect

right of course, I was thinking of “after” calling `collect` or `onEach` , I should I specified that :)
