im trying to have a thing where you type in something it adds it to a table and then prints the table in a nice orderly fashion onto a monitor and i dont have a clue how to work with tables…the code i have so far is:
old code:
Spoiler
local food = {}
print("What Would You Like To Order Today?:")
local text = read()
table.insert(food, 1, text)
yourmonitor = peripheral.wrap("left") monitor
term.redirect(yourmonitor)
term.clear()
print("Last order: ")
for i = 1,#food ipairs do
print(i)
end
term.restore()
print("Thank you for ordering: " text)
its saying theres a problem on line 9 which is no surprise coz i have no idea what it means
edit:
now i have this code that works but all it prints is 1 and 2 and 3…and more every time i enter something
local food = {}
while true do
term.clear()
print("What Would You Like To Order Today?:")
local text = read()
table.insert(food, 1, text)
yourmonitor = peripheral.wrap("left")
term.redirect(yourmonitor)
clear()
write("Last order: ")
for i=1,#food do
print(i)
end
term.restore()
print("Thank you for ordering: " ..text)
sleep(3)
end
thanks in advance…
