pairs (t)If t has a metamethod __pairs, calls it with t as argument and returns the first three results from the call.
Otherwise, returns three values: the next function, the table t, and nil, so that the construction
for k,v in pairs(t) do body end
will iterate over all key–value pairs of table t.
See function next for the caveats of modifying the table during its traversal.
ipairs (t)If t has a metamethod __ipairs, calls it with t as argument and returns the first three results from the call.
Otherwise, returns three values: an iterator function, the table t, and 0, so that the construction
for i,v in ipairs(t) do body end
will iterate over the pairs (1,t[1]), (2,t[2]), ..., up to the first integer key absent from the table.
而ipairs就是固定地从key值1开始,下次key累加1进行遍历,如果key对应的value不存在,就停止遍历。顺便说下,记忆也很简单,带i的就是根据integer key值从1开始遍历的。
tb = {"oh", [3] = "god", "my", [5] = "hello", [6] = "world"}
for k,v in ipairs(tb) do
print(k, v)
end
