Basit bir Lua for loop döngüsü

Basit bir lua programlama örneği:

occupants = {"Jones","Smith","Patel","Brown","Ng"}
occupants[1] = "Roberts"
occupants[6] = "Lee"
occupants[9] = "Forsythe"
occupants[8] = "Campbell"
occupants["llareggub"] = "Thomas"

-- indexed section - sequential from start

for dis,dat in ipairs(occupants) do
        print (dis .. " - " .. dat)
end

-- whole thing

for dis,dat in pairs(occupants) do
        print (dis .. " > " .. dat)
end

--[[ Sample output --------------------------------
