hello,
I have the following lua table :
> t = {name="sandy", age="22", major="computerScience"}
I want to iterate over it, both methods below do NOT work
Method 1
> function printAssociateTable(t) print("before the loop") for i,v
> in ipairs(t) do
> print(v) end end
Method 2
> function printAssociateTable2(t) print("before the loop") for k in
> ipairs(t) do
> print("before the loop")
> print(k.. " is " ..t.k) end end
when I call either methods, they print "before the loop". so the problem the program is not entering the loop !
i tried to manually access the table, if i do this :
> return
t.name => gives sandy
> return t[name]
=> gives **nil**
> return t["name"]
=> gives sandy !
how can i iterate over my table ? kindly note that both methods work well with a simple array like this
> a={"a","b","c","d"}
but i want it to work on my associative array
