What is the difference between? -Read Question for more
-'coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function() end)' and 'coroutine.wrap(function() end)()'? Rest of question here because of the maximum of characters limit.
I tested both coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function() end) and coroutine.wrap(function() end)() with repeat until nil loops, and they both reacted the same, but what is the difference between them both? I know they can run separate types of code, but, I don't know what they both do differently from eachother.

They are essentially the same.
There is an additional functionality possible using coroutine.wrap though:
function sayHello()
print("Hi!");
wait(5);
print("Bye!");
end
conversation = coroutine.wrap( sayHello );
-- coroutine.wrap returns a function
-- so `conversation` is now a function we can call
conversation();
conversation();
conversation();
conversation();
-- Hi!
-- Hi!
-- Hi!
-- Hi!
-- Bye!
-- Bye!
-- Bye!
-- Bye!
If you were to use coroutine.resume and coroutine.create, you'd have to repeat that each time to generate a new thread.
The idea is to use coroutine.wrap if you repeatedly have to make new threads (probably with different arguments)
One their own, when spawning a single thread, the behavior is as-far-as-I-know identical, and performance differences will be negligible.
