Returned Table being different than the assigned Table for some reason.

local function ChooseRandomNumbers(NumA, NumB) --Num stands for Number

well when a number is the same (which you can really check so much easier) you're just calling the function again but not doing anything with what it returns

[verbal nacelle]

so wait. Does that mean that the Table i assign in the ChooseQuest function has always the values of the first ChooseRandomNumbers function Table?

[desert obsidian]

yes

because that call just calls the function itself and creates a new one completely different but that table is not used

also the check can be really easy to do like this:

local function isValueRepeatedInTable(table: {[any]: any}): boolean
    local seen = {}

    for _, v in table do
        if seen[v] then
            return true
        end
        seen[v] = true
    end

    return false 
end

and just do if isValueRepeatedInTable(t) do...

[verbal nacelle]

wait but if the function i call will always be a new one how can i repeat the function until isValueRepeatedInTable() == false?

[desert obsidian]

just do return funcCall() in the if

here

return ChooseRandomNumbers(NumA, NumB)

aaa i see

thank you for helping. Btw what does this syntax mean? I have never seen the "(table: {[any]: any}): boolean"

that's type annotation, basically it's like a guide with what types are you working and what types are you returning, for more info: https://luau.org/typecheck
