Table

As Lists

• Starts with index 1, not 0.

  • Bullshitting the use of 0 as default in other languages .

local list = { "first", 2, false, function() print("Fourth!") end }
print("Yup, 1-indexed:", list[1])
print("Fourth is 4...:", list[4]())

As Maps

local t = {
  literal_key = "a string",
  ["an expression"] = "also works",
  [function() end] = true
}

print("literal_key   : ", t.literal_key)
print("an expression : ", t["an expression"])
print("function() end: ", t[function() end])
