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.
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.
這樣就可以看出 ipairs以及pairs 的不同。
pairs可以遍歷表中所有的key,并且除了迭代器本身以及遍歷表本身還可以返回nil;
但是ipairs則不能返回nil,只能返回數字0,如果遇到nil則退出。它只能遍歷到表中出現的第一個不是整數的key
