Tables are basically variables that hold 2 different things, Keys and Values This is an extremely basic explaination but there is so much more to them than what is here ## Keys Keys are identifiers for values, generally keys represent the order of things aka [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] but keys can be strings if needed ["String1"] ["String2"] ["String3"] ## Values Values are any form of data type, even other tables! ## Table Example ```lua table1 = { [1] = "Value", [2] = "Value" } for k,v in pairs(table1) do -- for key and value in pairs, aka if both of them exist in the table table1 do the following print(k .. " " .. v) end returns 1 Value 2 Value ``` ## Usage of table. functions ```lua table1 = { "Hello", "My", "Name", "Is", "Orion" } table2 = { "The", "Coolest", "Person" } table.Merge(table1, table2) print(table1) The Coolest Person Is Orion ```
