[help] Find position of the specific value in table

[monday]

Is there any easy way to find it? Let's say that I have a table like this:

mytable = {999, 1001, 996, 991} 

And I'd like to find the position of 996 by something like:

number = tableMagicFind(mytable, 996) 
--number would be 3 

[botder]

for index, value in pairs(mytable) do 
    if (value == 996) then 
        return index 
    end 
 end 

You can move that to a function and replace mytable and 996 with function parameters.

Thank you:)

You can also do it like this;

local selectedIndex = mytable[3]; 
-- Will return 996 

It works similarily if your table has another table inside of it. IE;

local myTable = {{1, 2, 3}, {"A", "B", "C"}, {1, 2, 3}}; 
local selectedIndex = myTable[2][3]; 
-- Will return C 

Edit:

Nevermind, just saw that you wanted to find the position of it
