1. What's the difference between a cookie and a session? A session lasts until the browser is closed, a cookie is persistent state stored in a small text file.
2. What's serialization and how does it come into play with cookies? The cookies stores serialized data about the session.
3. Can a cookie be shared by more than one user? How/why? Probably.
4. What would it mean to store a shopping cart in a cookie? The shopping cart would persist from session to session.
5. What advantages/disadvantages are there between cookie-stored carts and database-stored carts?

The cryptic Ruby function takes an array as an argument and returns an array of the items that occur more than once in the original array.

It does this using the inject method specifying an empty Hash as the accumulator. It iterates over each item in the array by referencing the item index position, and passes the resulting item into the accumulator. This builds up a hash of key/value pairs with the key being the item from the initial collection and the value representing the number of times the item appears in the array. It then uses the reject method on the resulting hash and iterates over the hash returning a new array containing the items in self for which the given block is false.

Using idiomatic Ruby a cleaner way to write this function would be:

def show_duplicates(collection)
  collection.select { |element| collection.count(element) > 1 }.uniq
end

    else
      result << element
    end
  end
  result
