I've been reading about dictionaries (mostly about how to insert values) but the more I read about them, the more confused I get.
Are dictionaries and arrays two different data types? or are dictionaries just a array that's using values for it's indexes. I tried reading the documentation, and maybe this is me being stupid, but that didn't clear anything up. Any help is appreciated!
and also on a side note, whats the difference between putting script inside the module script table, vs outside it?
local module = {
--here
}
-- vs here
return module

the latter
a dictionary is a table with key value pairs
local dict = {
key = "hi"
}```you index a dictionary with a key instead of an index (array)
the keys can be either just text key or string ["String key"]
the value can be any datatype
and it can be mixed as well
typechecking a dictionary goes like
local dict: {[string]: BasePart} = {}
a key is a string and the value is a basepart
anything else

you can also directly do return {} if youre only returning a table for example a config module
it all just returns the table
when you do function module.function()

altough
the different methods of inserting stuff into module tables
has different performance
but its not noticeable
dont worry about it
unless you want to micro optimize
(boo)

lmao, good to know

i’m not arguing for them to optimize anything, i’m making the statement that learning how to optimize and use good habits as early as possible is way better than having to replace poor habits later.
no need to be aggressive.
fossil juniper
so you disagree with my point that you should learn good habits over bad habits?
what are you even talking about.
