Javascript in photoshop - Trying to understand a script found here to customize it - Layer hide/display

I'm trying to modify a script I found here so it would randomly display 1 layer per group in some but not all of the groups, with some condition. I have roughly 1hr into Javascript and do not understand 1 thing in the script I found before delving deeper in the modification. Operator for means it'll execute the code multiple times, in this case once for each group of layer. The function Save() is called within this "for" operator.

At the same time, the Visible() function is called multiple time already, once for each pattern you asked for in the initial prompt.

function Visible() {
  var Grps = app.activeDocument.layerSets; // loops through all groups
  for(var i = 0; i < Grps.length; i++){
    var tmp = app.activeDocument.layerSets[i].layers.length;
    app.activeDocument.layerSets[i].visible=true;
    var groupChildArr = app.activeDocument.layerSets[i].layers;
    var randLays = Math.floor(Math.random() * tmp);
    groupChildArr[randLays].visible = true;
    Save();
  }
  Revert();
}

function Save() {
  var outFolder = app.activeDocument; // psd name
  var outPath = outFolder.path;
  var fName = "PNG";   // define folder name
  var f = new Folder(outPath + "/" + fName);
  if ( ! f.exists ) {
    f.create()
  }
  var saveFile = new File(outPath + "/" + fName +"/" + "Pattern_" +  num + ".png");
  pngSaveOptions = new PNGSaveOptions();
  pngSaveOptions.interlaced = false;
  app.activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, pngSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
}


function Revert(){
   var idRvrt = charIDToTypeID( "Rvrt" );
   executeAction( idRvrt, undefined, DialogModes.NO );
}

var count = prompt("How many patterns you want","");
for (var x=0 ; x<count;x++){
  var num = x+1;
  Visible();
}

From my basic understanding, it means that the file will be saved and overwritten for each new group of layer found and used in the Visible() function? Therefor, if I have 5 group of layers, it'll be saved 5 time before the final version of the image is completed and should instead be moved outside of the "for" operator, if I understood correctly. Would it be better if instead written this way?

function Visible() {
  var Grps = app.activeDocument.layerSets; // loops through all groups
  for(var i = 0; i < Grps.length; i++){
    var tmp = app.activeDocument.layerSets[i].layers.length;
    app.activeDocument.layerSets[i].visible=true;
    var groupChildArr = app.activeDocument.layerSets[i].layers;
    var randLays = Math.floor(Math.random() * tmp);
    groupChildArr[randLays].visible = true;
  }
  Save();
  Revert();
}
