What is "i" and "v" in the "In Pairs"?
Whenever I use the In Pairs, I couldn't Understand the index, and the value, Like for example, I have a Box with a Car in it, would the Box(outside) be the index, and the value would be the Car INSIDE the Box?
Please Respect that I am a Scripter in need for Knowledge

It's kind of hard to explain, but:
Table = {
Index = Value
}
Index and value could be anything.
If an index isn't assigned but a value is, the index will be the length of the table + 1. For example:
Table = {}
table.insert(Table, "hello")
"hello" will have an index of 1 because the table is empty.

What if I wanted to just use the Value instead of the Index? Would I have to add a "_, Index"? woodengop 1134 — 9y

Using "i,v" is the same as "_,v". You can leave the index if you don't need it. Vlatkovski 320 — 9y

Index is the Interval, and Value is the value of the table. i and v are just variables for index and value. You can change them to whatever you'd like. Here's how pairs would look in a while loop:
local tab = {"one","two","three","four","five"}
local i = 0
while i < #tab do
i = i + 1
v = tab[i]
end
Here's an example of how the variables can be changed:
local admins = {"Player","Player1","aquathorn321","TheContinentofEurope"}
local admin == "aquathorn321"
for number, player in pairs(admins) do
if player == admin then
print(admin.." Is an admin!")
end
end
