about tables, Table and metatables :o)

["voidptr69@..." <voidptr69@...>]

Another noob tought.


t = { "a", "b", "c" }
s = t:concat()   --  notworking same has s= t.concat(t)
s = Table.concat(t) 

tables don't have metatable...  
but why ? :o)

My guess is 99% of tables in script are used like a default table and could share Table by default..
And keep the short calling way valid is that case.

When you need to use tables for others purpose; 
class base or prototype base languages, mockup object, other data structures  etc etc ...
you will need to define a metatable and add the others functions you need  ( constructor, copier, destructor ...)
so in those case you need to have an explicit constructor.

so why not offer by default, like for String,  a metatable for table ?

voidptr :-)
