This lesson will teach you about another horizontal combination operator: buffer and its variants. Buffer groups consecutive values together, emitting the output as an array. The buffer variants and their arguments allow to specify when to close the buffers.

🚨 Since we are importing interval from RxJS, we don't need to preface our Observables with Rx.Observable. You can no longer .{operator}, you need to .pipe({operator}) instead. To link together multiple Observables and Operators, the method is a bit different. You call zip first, then list your Observables, your functions, then pipe your Operators.
