Use of table.find()

Can anyone help me with table.find(tablelist, arg) I tried finding documentation for it on the roblox wiki and also on the lua site. I can not seem to find any documentation but still it is available when you do auto correct. Can anyone help? thanks.

table.find(t, element) finds the index position of element. It returns nil if there is no element in the table.

Its uses are

  • Quick verification that an element is in the table
  • Get the index of the element, probably so you can pop it from the list or any other index-based operations rather than element based
