table.Flip#560183

<function name="Flip" parent="table" type="libraryfunc"> <description> Flips key-value pairs of each element within a table, so that each value becomes the key, and each key becomes the value. <warning>Take care when using this function, as a Lua table cannot contain multiple instances of the same key. As such, data loss is possible when using this function on tables with duplicate values. ``` local test = { test = 1, test2 = 1 } local f = table.Flip( test ) PrintTable( f ) -- Outputs "1 = test2" ``` </warning> </description> <realm>Shared and Menu</realm> <added>2023.08.08</added>⤶ <file line="744-L754">lua/includes/extensions/table.lua</file> <args> <arg name="input" type="table">The table to flip items of.</arg> </args> <rets> <ret name="" type="table">The flipped table.</ret> </rets> </function> <example> <code> local productIngredients = { "Cocoa Mass", "Cocoa Butter", "Vanilla", "Cocoa Solids: 70% min" } local flipped = table.Flip( productIngredients ) PrintTable( flipped ) </code> <output> ``` Cocoa Butter = 2 Cocoa Mass = 1 Cocoa Solids: 70% min = 4 Vanilla = 3 ``` </output> </example>
