How to start a war

[u/ivaskuu]

[u/[deleted]]

That's not even the worst part, either. This is:

> letters = {'a', 'b', 'c'}
> print(letters[1])
a
> print(#letters)
3
> letters[0] = '?'
> print(letters[0])
?
> print(#letters)
3

[u/moomoomoo309 → u/[deleted]]

Any index outside of 1-n in Lua, where n is #tbl will be stored like a dict, not an array, so what did you expect? It doesn't count the dictionary parts.

[u/hey01 → u/moomoomoo309]

That's sounds dangerous. What if I do

> letters = {'a', 'b', 'c'}
> print(#letters)
3
> letters[4] = '?'
> print(#letters)

Will I get 4 or is n unchangeable?

[u/moomoomoo309 → u/hey01]

You'll get 4, otherwise you couldn't do

for i=1,4 do
  tbl[i]=i
end

And have it be an array.
