'Index' is a term referring to the location of a value in a table.

When you create a table like this

local table = {}
table[1] = "Hello"
table[2] = "World"

"Hello" is stored at index 1

"World" is stored at index 2

This is an example of 'indexing tables with integers' as the indexes we are using to store the two strings are.. integers!

Index simply refers to the 'key' we use the access the 'value' in the table. In Lua, we aren't limited to just using integers as keys. We can use (pretty much) anything, including strings, doubles, instances, and even other tables.

Hope this helps :)
