Question

I am trying to create a multi dimensional table like so

    answers = {}
for i = 1, #answers do
    answers[i] = { wrong = t[i], wrong2 = t2[i], right = t3[i]}
end

print(answers[1].wrong)

But when I try to access answers[1].wrong, I get error: attempt to index field ‘?’ (nil value)
But when I do it this way it prints it for me

    answers = {
    {wrong = t[1], wrong2 = t2[1],right = t3[1]},
    {wrong = t[2], wrong2 = t2[2],right = t3[2]}
}
print("----------")
print(answers[1].wrong)
print(answers[1].wrong2)

Why is the first method not working?

Answer 1

answers = {}
for i = 1, #answers do

#answers is 0. So the loop won’t execute. You probably meant #t or something.
