How to display the amount of objects in a table?

Hello,

I am currently just working on an inventory UI, nothing special however, I am having problems with having my item capacity spit out the number of items currently in the UI.

local MaxItems = 18
for _,ItemObj in pairs(Container:GetChildren()) do
	if GameItems:FindFirstChild(ItemObj.Name) then
		table.insert(Items, ItemObj)
	end
	print (#Items,ItemObj)
	UI.Frame.ItemCapacity.TextLabel.Text = "Capacity:("..#Items.. "/".. MaxItems..")"
end

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Also, having many more questions to post about tables.

There are two ways of doing this, one for arrays and one for dictionaries, for arrays, you can use the length operator , which is #, another , longer method involves the getn function of the table library. However this method doesn't work for dictionaries, which means you would have to iterate through the children of the table.

Arrays:

local arr = {"yes","nope","oof","telamon"}
print(#arr)--4
print(table.getn(arr))--4

Dictionaries:

local dict = {name = "Jeff", Ping = "pong",Pos = "how do i know?!"}
local length = 0

for i,v in pairs(dict) do
length = length + 1
end

print(length)--3
