Lua table as list

Tables can be used as arrays, functioning much like a list. Try copy pasting this code into the translator:

local Primes = {1,2,5,7,11,13,17}   
trace(Primes);   
trace(#Primes);   
for i=1, #Primes do   
   trace(i);   
end   

Putting the # Operator on Lua Tables gives the number of elements in the array.

As you can see, it's quite straightforward to use the number of elements in the array in a for loop to iterate through an table like this:
