Hello, What does it mean when a variable is defined and in the next line the scripter says variable[something]? Thanks! I know it sounds basic, but I've seen it very often and believe it must be important.

What does it mean when there is variable[something]?

Whenever you use brackets, you're grabbing something from a table.
In example
lottery = ['15','22','35','47','52']
print(lottery[2])
--If this example is correct, it will print out the second thing listed in the table, so in the case, it'll print the number 22.

It means variable is a table.
Brackets index a table, so if you have t={'a','b','c','d','e'}, t[3] is 'c'
