Explanation:

    You can combine vector objects to create shapes in a variety of ways in Illustrator. The resulting paths or shapes differ depending on the method used to combine the objects.

Pathfinder effects

Pathfinder effects allow you to combine multiple objects using interaction modes. When you use Pathfinder effects, you cannot edit interactions between objects.

Composite shapes

Composite shapes let you combine multiple objects and specify how you want each object to interact with the others. These shapes are more versatile than compound paths, as they offer four types of interactions: addition, subtraction, intersection and exclusion. In addition, the underlying objects are not changed so that you can select each object in a composite form to edit it or change its mode of interaction.
