| This is an example of its basic use. | Code: | days = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"}
revdays = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"}
for i,v in ipairs(days) do
revdays[v] = i
print(revdays[v])
end
|
This will print 1 through 7. Of course, there is probably better uses ;) |

| actually its | Code: | days = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"}
for i,v in ipairs(days) do
revdays[v] = i
print(revdays[v])
end |
copied this from the lua book? and that still doesnt point out what the difference between pairs and ipairs. i believe its that pairs is for tables and ipairs is for arrays. your confusing me thats why im asking. |

| Yes, I copied it. Since I have literally never used ipairs. I see no point in it. |

| I find it easier to just use the for statement because it is much easier for me to think of how i works. |
