Okay. Tnx very much i finally understand what string function is but i stil don't really get what actually happeens if you make "ipairs" or "in ipairs". Tnx in advance

[Castillo]

"ipairs" is used for indexed tables.

And "pairs" can be used for any table (as far as I know).

You need "in" combined with "(i)pairs" in a for-loop.

As beginner...will i use this function oftenly?

[Castillo]

Is not a function.

And should use it when you need it only.

We can use like this?

local myTable = { 
                  [1] = { question='What the Fuck?!', answer='This is a shit!' }, 
                  [2] = { question='What the Hell?!', answer='I know, this is a shit xd' } 
} 
  
for i, data in ipairs(myTable) do 
   if myTable[1]['question'] then -- We can use like myTable[index]['value1'] ?? 
      outputChatBox(myTable[1]['answer']) 
  end 
end 

I don't know why I need 'if myTable[1]['question'] It's only a example.
