The output isn't printing out "Hot Dog". I am trying to learn table.find() and I started adding more tables in side of tables to see how it would work, but it just prints out nil, why is that? Here's the code
local t = {
{"Burger",1000},
{"Taco",5000},
{"Hot Dog",150000},
{"Steak",60},
{"Grilled Cheese",10}
}
for i, number in pairs(t) do
print(number)
print(table.find(t,"Hot Dog",5))
end
The reason it is printing nil is because you are searching the table t for "Hot Dog", however, it only has tables inside of itself. Instead, you should search each sub-table:
local t = {
{"Burger",1000},
{"Taco",5000},
{"Hot Dog",150000},
{"Steak",60},
{"Grilled Cheese",10}
}
for i, tbl in pairs(t) do
local number = tbl[2]
print(number)
print(table.find(tbl,"Hot Dog"))
end
-- Output:
-- 1000
-- nil
-- 5000
-- nil
-- 150000
-- 1<-- This is where "Hot Dog" is located.
-- 60
-- nil
-- 10
-- nil
Here is a script I toke from roblox references] https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/lua-docs/table
local t = {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"}
print(table.find(t, "d")) --> 4
print(table.find(t, "z")) --> nil, because z is not in the table
print(table.find(t, "b", 3)) --> nil, because b appears before index 3
Judging from that script maybe try changing yours to
local t = {"Burger",1000, "Taco",5000,"Hot Dog",150000, "Steak",60, "Grilled Cheese",10}
for i, number in pairs(t) do
print(number)
print(table.find(t,"Hot Dog",5))
end
I was trying to attach the numbers to each item, like Burger's number would be 1,000, and Taco's is 5,000 etc
Mabye do somthing like: Local "Grilled Cheese" = 10 Or make them a Number vaule or something some where else and link them like: Local "Grilled Cheese" = script.Parent.Value1
