Is there a way to access the contents of a table without a for loop?

i fully understand how tables work...

t = {
	["test1"] = 1;
	["test2"] = 2;
	["test3"] = 3
}

for key,v in pairs(t) do
print(key.." is "..v)
end

but for a specific script i need to access table contents without a for loop. If i am stupid please let me know
