What is are?

ARE, an acronym for "Add, Read, and Edit," is a popular mnemonic device used in various fields, particularly in software development and data management, to describe the fundamental operations performed on data or resources. It represents a simplified view of CRUD operations. While CRUD is more comprehensive, ARE focuses on the essential actions users or systems can take.

Here's a breakdown of each operation in ARE:

• Add: This refers to the creation or insertion of new data or resources into a system or database. It's analogous to the "Create" operation in CRUD. The "Add" operation ensures that new information can be recorded and stored.
• Read: This involves retrieving or viewing existing data or resources. It corresponds to the "Read" operation in CRUD. The "Read" operation provides access to stored information for analysis, display, or further processing.
• Edit: This entails modifying or updating existing data or resources. It's similar to the "Update" operation in CRUD. The "Edit" operation ensures that information can be corrected or changed as needed.

Although "Delete" is a crucial operation in data management, ARE intentionally omits it to provide a simplified and more accessible representation of common actions. It's commonly used in introductory contexts or when discussing basic data interactions.
