why named routes in laravel code example

Example 1: named route with parameter laravel

Route::get('/menu/{category}/{product}/{item}', ['as' => 'named.route' , 'uses' => 'MenuController@listItem']);

// to get the actual linke
route('named.route', ['category' => $category->id, 'product' => $product->id, 'item' => $item->id]);

Example 2: set route name laravel

Route::get('/novanoticia', 'HomeController@getNovaNoticia')->name('route_name');
Route::get('/novanoticia', ['as' => 'route_name', 'uses' => 'HomeController@getNovaNoticia']);
