When do we use for i,v in pairs and why? [closed]

for i,v in pairs() is basically a for loop that loops through every item in a table. Although for i,v works just fine, for key,(word to help understand) works just the same, but in a more understandable way.

Anyways, lets say you wanted to unanchor all the parts in a model. Unanchoring every part individually would take a long time. for loops do that for you. Example:

local model = --model goes here

for key,obj in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do
    obj.Anchored = false
end

You can use a for loop whenever, like when a part is touched.

local model = --model again
local hitbox = model.Hitbox --You don't need a hitbox as you can call the function when any part is touched, it just helps

local function collapse()
    for key,obj in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do
        obj.Anchored = false
    end
end

hitbox.Touched:Connect(collapse)

I hope this makes things a lot more clear for you.
