What's the difference between the first code and the second code?

What's the difference when using "do"?

First code:

local words = "i failed in math class"
print(words)

Second code:

local words = "i failed in math class"

do
    print(words)
end

If it's useful, then how do I make it useful?

shouldn't it be obvious? other than the words printed fusionFSJAL 33 — 5y

There is no difference. Only that the latter is in a different scope. `do .. end` creates a new empty scope. User#24403 69 — 5y

I suggest the first code shown. That saves time leaving more for actual development. Now if the code was

local words = game.Workspace.String.Value

do
    print(words)
end

then I suggest the second method.

If this helped don't hesitate to mark it as an answer.
