I would like to know the difference between these two things:

pawn Код:

GetPVarInt(playerid, "thename");
SetPVarInt(playerid, "thename", value);

and doing it like this:

pawn Код:

thename[playerid] = value;
//and to get the value you just type it in,like if(thename[playeird] == 2)

is there any difference,and could you explain a little bit about the PVar thingy?and Which method is better to use?
