Arithmetic operations in a table?
For my game i want to calculate the average of the numbers found in a table. So to do this, I have to add all of them and divide it by the number of values. I know how to do that last part (#table), but I have no idea where to start to be able to add all the values of the table together.

well you could just do this:
local values = {10,20,40,5,12,34,78} -- change the values in here
function average(array)
local current_value = 0
for _,number in pairs(array) do
current_value = current_value + number
end
return current_value/ #array
end
local aver = average(values)
print(aver)
change the values in the values table to the desired values
