How to Pass in Table as a function's Arguments?

Asked Jul 28, 2018283 views1 answers

function printabc(a,b,c)
	print(a,b,c)
end

local list = {1,2,3}
printabc(list)

The above code prints "table:1234567 nil nil"

Is there anyway way, without saying "print(list[1], list[2], list[3])", that the above format will work?

✓ Accepted answer

###You can't print a table. You can unpack it though.

local function printabc(a, b, c)
    print(a, b, c)
end

local list = {1, 2, 3}

printabc(unpack(list)) -- will unpack the table and print its elements
