i,v in pairs question?

✓ Accepted answer
I'll give you a brief explanation of i pairs. Here's an example of an i pairs loop
for i, v in ipairs(game.Workspace:getChildren) do
--//Gathers everything in workspace
end
the i = index You can change v to whatever you want.
There's 2 types of pairs. ipairs and pairs.
I prefer ipairs, because I've heard it's more effective. In reality, I'm not 100% sure.
Hopefully this helps!
(also, next might be a table, idk)
If you need further help then i,v in pairs is a loop, it brings each item in a certain folder, it can get everything in a table and is useful for indexing items, i would be a number or a key, v would be what the key holds,
for i, v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
print(i,v)
end
This should print "1, Camera", "2, Terrain"
With keys you would be able to manipulate dictionaries:
local dict = {["Key"] = 50, ["MoreKeys"] = 100}
for i, v in pairs(dict) do
print(i,v)
end
This should print "Key, 50"
Reasons to use this:
Maybe you want to find a certain part or value,
for i, v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name == "Desired part name" then
print("Found part")
end
end
Anywho, this is just if you needed further help.
Its hard to explain, hopefully this may help https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/Loops
