Just bought the Lua book

I am such a fanboy it absolutely HURTS

@jespersh Lua doesn't have arrays

@AlgoRythm lua tables start from 1.

@sSam correct

Lua is Delphi in small

Love Lua and its tables...

But I don't find a good use case... Any suggestions?

@CozyPlanes Lua is great for extending C/C++ programs. Apart from that it has little use.

Still, it's a great read, offering many interesting concepts. Like functions return more than one value.

Btw. In my copy of the Lua book, it is "arrays".
Didn't know they were renamed.

@Yamakuzure too bad I never learnt c and c++

@Yamakuzure Take a look in that section, it should say that arrays are implemented as tables with an integer key.

They have a section called arrays for people who are looking for them.

@AlgoRythm I am at home now, and realize that I got "Beginning Lua Programming", written by Kurt Jung and Aaron Brown from 2007.

And chapter 4 is "Working with Tables"
Wow!
4.4 is "Tables as Arrays"

My memory totally failed me here! 🤔

@Yamakuzure I'm excited for my book. Should get it tomorrow.

I sort of wanna specialize in Lua. Since not many people seem to, it may be a coveted skill.

Algo the Lua man.
