Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac Was this method used as per Apple ?

How to reinstall macOS Was this method used as per Apple ?

Follow these guidelines during installation:

If the installer asks to unlock your disk, enter the password you use to log in to your Mac.
If the installer doesn't see your disk, or it says that it can't install on your computer or volume, you might need to erase your disk first.
If the installer offers you the choice between installing on Macintosh HD or Macintosh HD - Data, choose Macintosh HD.

Thank you. Apparently I didn’t set which disk to reinstall macOS. What I did was, i went back to disk utility and clicked “- / +” and added a drive on which I was able to reinstall the macOS. Now, I was able to boot up my Mac. I was just wondering if what i did was correct.
