What's the difference between Parent and parent?

Just something I would like to know. Being such a professional coder. I'm so advanced that I can even do loops.

I don't know what to say to the second two of those three sentence, but the difference is that the Parent field of an Object in ROBLOX refers to whatever Object it is a direct descendant of, or nil if it is outside the DataModel (game).

parent means nothing on its own, unless you specifically assign it as a variable.
