How would I get the varible the same as the index without looping?

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I want to make the varible the same as the index heres an example:
local Table =  { 
[1] = 1
[2] = 2
}

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    The issue is it keeps on looping. I used i,v in pairs to get the index

  2. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I looked in Developer Hub, I tried pairs, ipairs, and next and it still keeps on looping

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.

Why can’t you use something like this. It removes the need for the table:

for i = 1, 10 do
	print(i)
end

Im making something that needs a table.

Could you please be more clear? What does the script look like so far?

Im making something like google.

I dont really understand where the table you are making plays into the larger script. Where exactly is it used and what is it used for?

As for creating it, the easiest way is to just use a for-loop

function createArray(from, to)
  local t = {}
  for i = from, to do
    t[i] = i
  end
  return t
end

Technically, you could do something with metatables:

local t = {}
setmetatable(t, {
  __index = function(_, k)
    return k
  end
})

Ima just do another way, I think I dont need a table anymore but thank you for helping me
