I wanted to understand the use of * For * and * # * before some variable?
I wanted to understand the use of * For * and * # * before some variable,for example:
local teleporte = script.Parent function onClicked() local p = game.Players:GetChildren() for i = 1, #p do p[i].Character:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-55.831, 11.008, 183.894)) teleporte.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 0 end end script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)
I wanted to understand how to use and the use of them

for is a keyword used to start a for iterator loop and # returns the length of either a given table or given string DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 4y

[#] - Operator - This returns either the length of an string or the length of a table.
local Table = {'hi', 'there', 'world'}
print(#Table)
-- Output : 3
[*] - Operator - This is the multiplication operator.
local NumberVar = 10 print(NumberVar * 5) -- Output : 50
[For] - Syntax - This is used in For Loops in lua to iterate through tables, string functions that return a table (ex: string.split), numbers, etc.
for Iteration = 1, 10 do
print(Iteration) -- prints from 1 to 10
end
Hope this has cleared the questions of yours, if you have any more feel free to ask me.

If you put # right before a table it will represent a number of how much objects are on that table, * is for multiplication. Example:
print(5 * 2)
That will print 10.
