Horizontal guidelines have a height of zero and the width of their constraint layout parent. Vertical guidelines have a width of zero and the height of their constraint layout parent.
There are two types of guidelines, horizontal and vertical. Guidelines bring flexibility because if you wish to adjust the spacing, later on, you can adjust just the guideline and the other widgets will fall into place. It is the most necessary when you have the same margin values duplicated on a lot of elements. For instance, you have two views aligned to the left of the layout and you intend to give them both a margin of 20dp, you can create a guideline instead which has the 20dp start value and align the views to the guideline. A guideline comes in handy when you have to align multiple views that have a similar margin.

The helpers are not necessarily core components, they only aid the efficiency and effectiveness of using the layout. In this part, we will look at ConstraintLayout helpers. In the first part, we introduced ConstraintLayout and some of its features and in the second part, we went deeper to look at constraints, bias, and chains. This is the third part of our five-part series.
