#Table

General
1

Does #Table gives the number of values in the table having an integral key? Cause if I use strings or non integral numbers it doesn’t count it in #Table. Why is this so?

function setup()
    Table = {}
    Table["String"] = "one"
    Table[1] = 1
    Table[1.1] = 1.1
    print(#Table, Table["String"], Table[1], Table[1.1])
end

“The # operator doesn’t count all the items in the table (!), instead it finds the last integer (not-fractional number) key.”
