for in pairs() do

If I am storing players name and race time like this in table:

blueBerryRallyP[thePlayer] = ((getTickCount () - getElementData( thePlayer, "laiks" )) / 1000) 

Why does this not work:

function endRace(raceToEnd) 
    outputChatBox("Ending:"..raceToEnd..".", root, 0, 255, 255) 
    function findRaceWinner(blueBerryRallyP) 
        if blueBerryRallyP and type(blueBerryRallyP) == 'table' then 
            local time, winner = math.huge 
            for thePlayer, theTime in pairs(blueBerryRallyP) do 
                outputChatBox("INDEX "..thePlayer..", ar VALUE: "..theTime ) 
                if theTime < time then 
                    winner, time = thePlayer, theTime            
                end 
            end 
            return winner, time 
        end 
        return false 
    end 
end 

It just shows outputChatBox("Ending:"..raceToEnd..".", root, 0, 255, 255) line and thats all.

You are having a function in a function, as far as I know you can't do that.

Yes, you can. The reason that isn't working as expected is that the function inside the function is never called; in fact, another function is useless.

Yes, it worked now. Silly question, but how can I use this function to get those returned values?

function findRaceWinner(raceToEnd) 
        if blueBerryRallyP and type(blueBerryRallyP) == 'table' then 
            local time, winner = math.huge 
            for thePlayer, theTime in pairs(blueBerryRallyP) do 
                if theTime < time then 
                    winner, time = thePlayer, theTime            
                end 
            end 
            return winner, time 
        end 
        return false 
end 

Like how can I get or use those return winner, time values?

try in command .. like this :

addCommandHandler ( "getValue" , function ( player ) 
      outputChatBox( "value is"..findRaceWinner(  ), player) 
end )
