What do the new entity iterator and immediate source entity code blocks do?

Im kinda confused on what the new entity code blocks actually do, ive looked around at how they are used, and it seems to me that entity iterator would be used to , in some way, get a list of entities, and then use that list in the new for each entity in area command, but ive tried to do this, and it still says that entity is a required dependency, so im not sure what either of them do, id be very grateful if someone could explain them.

The entity iterator is a temporary entity container. This is why in blocks like "for every entity as entity iterator do" you can replace entity iterator with any entity-type variable. Source entity is the "sourceentity" dependency provided by entity attack triggers. Hope this helps!
