Using tables...

[Chickengbs]

Hello FP,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me, I'm wanting to store 2 vars inside 1 index, so it'd print like this...

MyTable  = {}

Output: -> MyTable[1] = var1, var2

Any way how i can do this?

You can do:

MyTable ={}
MyTable[1] = {}
MyTable[1][1] = var1
MyTable[1][2] = var2

[B]Same as above, but differently laid out:[/B]

MyTable= { [1] = { var1, var2 } }

PrintTable(MyTable)
[1]
    [1] = var1
    [2] = var2

So essentially this is called a table in a table right?

How would i lets say insert a value using table.insert with your method?

As an example would be, if I wanted to insert some variables automatically like so...

table.insert(MyTable, var1, var2) ???????

you would have to wrap it in a table using the {} syntax.

[lua]
table.insert(MyTable, { var1, var2} )
[/lua]

this is because table.insert only takes 2 arguments by default, there's ways using varargs that you can do it using custom functions such as the one below:

[lua]
function table.insertFew( tab, ... )
table.insert( tab, { ... } )
end
[/lua]

if you use a custom function such as table.insertFew, you can place objects in tables the way you proposed before.

eg
[lua]
table.insertFew( MyTable, var1, var2, var3 ) etc
[/lua]

Ah, so that's what I can do! Thanks!!

So if I wanted to print or access an index would I do print(MyTable[1][1])? -- that'd print var 1 in index 1?
