A Public function can be called in a timer, needs to be forwarded and mostly returns something;
inside a public function there can be other functions, things to do.

Only when it needs to be directly called by the server. Callbacks, timers, CallLocalFunction and CallRemoteFunction. That's it. You don't need public functions for anything else.

Public is a keyword which helps us to make a globalized function which may or may not return a value.

Lol, I love how this guy always posts random crap that he doesn't even understand himself in an attempt to make himself look good.

Just a small note, please stop trying to help if you don't know what you're even saying.
