lua table of all characters
In Lua, you can create a table of all characters by utilizing the string
library. Here are the steps to achieve this:
Start by creating an empty table to store the characters:
lua local characters = {}
Use a loop to iterate through the ASCII values of characters from 0 to 255:
lua for i = 0, 255 do local char = string.char(i) characters[i] = char end
Now, the
characters
table will contain all the ASCII characters. Each character is stored at its corresponding ASCII value index.You can access a specific character from the table using its ASCII value as the index. For example, to retrieve the character 'A' (ASCII value 65), you can use:
lua local charA = characters[65]
To print all the characters in the table, you can use a loop:
lua for i = 0, 255 do print(characters[i]) end
That's it! Following these steps will allow you to create a Lua table containing all the characters.
