to be more clear in this part 8:01 "i" is the position or the location of that value whether its a: boolean = this -> true, false string = any word or sentence that is inside of this -> " " integer = any number # the position or location is represented as a number which is this: [#] or ["string"] the "v" is the value *of* THAT position here's the visual form: [1] = 123, [2] = "Hello" [3] = false || || ( i ) ( v ) ( i ) is the position and ( v ) is the value thank you tho for the explanation between the "for i" and the "for i, v"
The reason why it did not loop through the dictionary in the "correct" order is because dictionaries are not ordered since they are indexed with their keys so they don't need to be ordered, but tables are still always looped through in the correct order.
I’m learning how to read and write in Java and testing it on Lua and honestly just started working with looping and honestly this is a very useful video!!! Thankyou as I’m currently working on making a auto health regen pad so when a player touches part and needed to understand loop functions for this and video has helped me achieve this Thankyou!!! Only thing I think you should of included was “breaks” as they can be useful when working with loops ❤
So the video creator explained in a previous nick eh 30 video how to crank 90s for a certain amount of time without stopping. But one person was a bit of a default and couldn't figure out how to continuously crank 90s without accidently boxing himself like a fishy. So the video creator made a new nick eh 30 video on how to crank 90s forever but this time he explained it in a way that even defaults can understand. (I believe it was Albert Einstein who said time is irrelevant, so no I am not sorry for responding 4 months late in the middle of the night)
One more thing I see in for loops often is "pairs" and "ipairs". I've been struggling with for loops for whatever reason even tho they are pretty simple and this video was perfect for me but I still dont understand those two.
pairs are for dictionaries and ipairs are for arrays, but you don’t need to use them cause you can just loop through both of them without pairs or ipairs.
Honestly, I think you needed a script for this one. It's hard to explain a more basic concept off the top of your head, and I feel like you didn't explain clearly or well enough. No offense to you though, it's not easy to do.
quick explanation for "for loops" for i - - means index for i = 1 - - means how many times i changes, 10 - - how many times it will loop for i = 1, 10 do - - execute code here
So do I use this to call out variable in my work easier like is there a way to say if this happens then print whatever is in key 2 I just don’t understand what to use it for really
Being as stupid as i am, i will just have to think of it as: “i” will numerize, “v” will recognize. But what are loops good for aside from giving a number of things you have in your table, and the names of those things?
I had no idea this was even called a "for loop" before this video. I have no fucking idea what it means. i keep seeing this in scripts like "for i = v do" or whatever. WHAT IS I AND V???? WHY DOES I = V AND WHAT DO THEY DO FOR??? AND WHY ARE THEY IN PAIRS????? All i knew was that it had to do with tables and randomization...
wow legendary. BUT REMEMBER! YOU SHOULD LOOP WITH FUNCTIONS. MAKE A FUNCTION AND CALL THAT FUNCTION INSIDE OF IT TO CREATE A LOOP! Its a ton better than the normal "While" or "For" loop since its faster. There is a video proving it (the video: ua-cam.com/video/hOdxbcfqLEc/v-deo.htmlsi=CX7yoeJOPifoQAeQ )
dude, no one gives a shit about these incredibly small micro-optimizations. The performance will not change nearly enough for it to be worth writing all that extra shit.
The amount of people who don't know how to use a for loop is concerning. I think a mistake most new roblox scripters do is try to learn base concepts of programming through a complex langauge like LUA. Instead what you should do is learn the base concepts of programming through any video series on youtube and then learn LUA once you've trained on them. There is a semi-programming langauge called "Pseudocode", it helped me learn how programming actually works, but you can learn through other langauges like python that have a lot of good explination videos. I didn't understand ANY roblox scripting tutorials ever, until i started my computer science class and actually learned how programming works and the fundementals like hexadecimal and binary, character codes, etc. the problem is there isn't much good videos explaining LUA as if you're new to programming, instead they try to teach you how to make a game work instead of actually learning, which is a huge problem, especially if you want to get better at programming later on.
Okay you explained it, but you didn’t show anything practical in a game. Show a for loop that that has gameplay mechanics so players understand. People aren’t making games that just print words in an output window
so basically its like the infinite redstone loop when you quickly place and break a redstone torch, but you can modify it to run as many times as you want instead of forever

to be more clear in this part 8:01
"i" is the position or the location of that value whether its a:
boolean = this -> true, false
string = any word or sentence that is inside of this -> " "
integer = any number #
the position or location is represented as a number which is this: [#] or ["string"]
the "v" is the value *of* THAT position
here's the visual form:
[1] = 123,
[2] = "Hello"
[3] = false
|| ||
( i ) ( v )
( i ) is the position and ( v ) is the value
thank you tho for the explanation between the "for i" and the "for i, v"

They’re outdated, don’t use them
pairs are for dictionaries and ipairs are for arrays, but you don’t need to use them cause you can just loop through both of them without pairs or ipairs.
@@Phoenix-ox8czwhat should I be using instead of for i,v in pairs() loops?
ipairs is if your table looks like {‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’}
pairs is if your table looks like {A = 1, B = 2, C = 3}
Wait so it was used to differentiate between arrays and dictionaries but it's just not necessary anymore?
thanks, for loops there is one random part to it that my brain couldn't wrap around till this

guys I think this might be a JOJO reference 🤯
I can't understand why need to add variable, like why you can't do without index variable
Dude, this is AWESOME for making a game.
Thanks thou
my brain is still trying to process this but i kinda understand it more
thank you so much for this :D

Doesnt that just make it run forever therefore crashing roblox? Is this a troll comment lol?
recursion takes more stuff to write, would be just quicker to write a for or while loop.

what worked for me is brute forcing learning lua as then your brain is more accustomed to the language through so much trial and error
As a 5 year old i didn't understand anything
As 9 year old I understand

Yes. I am
now do lua!!
Omg not the anime terms 😭
Explain it in miencraft terms
so basically its like the infinite redstone loop when you quickly place and break a redstone torch, but you can modify it to run as many times as you want instead of forever
and you can also make it run as many as amount of items in a chest
