how to keys/indexes work in tables?
Hi, if i were to set a key for a table which position would that key be placed in?. would be placed in the first position, last or a random one?. for example.
local myTable = {}
myTable[myKey] = " this is a key"
and can i set a key without giving it a value such as
local myTable = {}
myTable[myKey]

Yes, it can, but you have to set it to "nil". Take this, as an example:
local table = {}
table["Key01"] = nil;
--^ The Key01 is the key, the value is stored in a "pair" of the Key01 and nil.

thak you, and does it insert that key into the first available slot?. for example if my table had keys going from 1, 5 would it insert in the 6th position Code1400 75 — 4y

This is not a table, this would be an array. LinavolicaDev 570 — 4y
