should I put a break under or over an if statement inside a for loop?
local children = script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #children do
if children[i]:IsA("BasePart") then
-----should a break go here-------
print("script ran")
-----or here?---------
end
end
I want the loop to break when children[i] is a basepart.
for the code under the for loop and the if statement, were is the best place to put a break.

Now that I understand the question, break goes after any code you want to run. Code executes top to bottom, so generally put break after any code you want to run.
local children = script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #children do
if children[i]:IsA("BasePart") then
print("script ran")
break --here
end
end
If you put break before the print, it would exit the loop first, so nothing would be printed.
