Are there any differences between in ipairs and in pairs ?
What?
a = {1, "b", 3, "d"}
for i, v in pairs(a) do print(i, v) end
print("Ipairs")
for i, v in ipairs(a) do print(i, v) end
Return:
1 1
2 b
3 3
4 d
Ipairs
1 1
2 b
3 3
4 d
ipairs cycles through the entries with integer indexes in a table, in order.
pairs traverses all entries in a table, in arbitrary order.
In your example, add a.teste=true after creating the table or teste=true at creation. %% Will be visited by teste,true but not pairs .
