Learning Lua... (Just a random post from a lua super noob.)

<< < (3/11) > >>

Neku:
Want me to explain what's going on in mine?

syn.:
yes please neku:) I really don't like tables now

syn.:
20! Jam it's 20! you freaking added 100 and 99 into the table for no reason... starts at 0 because c = 0 and then goes up by one all the way to 20 because you put x[3] and 20 is your 3rd variable (or whatever it's called) and n = c and blahblahblah. I want more jam pls:D

edit* : just checked on SciTE and I'm pretty sure I'm right.

Neku:
Think of tables as variables inside of a variable.

I went a tad further and made tables within the table.

To call a table's value, you would do

--- Code: ---table[x]

--- End code ---

Say I wanted to call the point value of Pig Molester.
I would do

--- Code: ---MEDAL[3][3] -- Another [] because it's inside another table.

--- End code ---

I think I might have one for you...
Simple, but weird if you don't know it all...

--- Code: ---tab = {
"Billy",
"Bob",
"Joe"
}

math.randomseed( tonumber( tostring( os.time()):reverse():sub( 1, 6 ) ) )

print( "Winner: " .. tab[ math.random( 3 ) ] )
--- End code ---
Yep, more tables. C:
I could've just posted my raffle name picker code, but its function namings and heavy commenting are too easily understandable... :p
EDIT: *crosses fingers and hopes I didn't screw anything up while typing on a lag guy as heck iPod tough 4G with autocorrect on*
EDIT 2: Fixed a few blatant syntax errors (probably added a few too) and added spacing.
EDIT 3: Fixed a blatant syntax error that I should've noticed but didn't due to my 20/100 uncorrected vision and my usage of a mobile device to make this post (I have switched to a computer since then :P).
EDIT 4: Tabs! :D
