Lua table as list
Tables can be used as arrays, functioning much like a list. Try copy pasting this code into the translator:
local Primes = {1,2,5,7,11,13,17}
trace(Primes);
trace(#Primes);
for i=1, #Primes do
trace(i);
end
Putting the # Operator on Lua Tables gives the number of elements in the array.
As you can see, it’s quite straightforward to use the number of elements in the array in afor loop to iterate through an table like this:
Next, see Lua tables as dictionaries.
