arrays - What is the difference between Lua tables and classes? -

-

i'm beginner programming in general , have been trying few different languages. in lua, there tables seem super lists (arrays, dictionaries, lists in one) in lua possible this:

player = { health = 100, attack = 50, mana = 54 } print(player.health)

and return 100. in other programming languages, need make class same output. understanding, lua has classes tables? tables seem act similar same? if not, makes them different , pros , cons of using either?

but understanding, lua has classes tables?

no, not.

lua (ignoring c api stuff) has 1 complex data structure: tables.

you can create class using table. can create kinds of things using table. lua tables flexible, precisely because only data structure lua has.

in lua, every complex thing @ base level table. or if it's c api, userdata.

a class prototype creating objects. declare class has x, y, , z members in it, create object of class type have x, y , z members in it.

you can create lua tables mimic behavior of classes. there's no language construct in lua formally class.
