Create populated in Lua

To create an array in Lua, you simply declare a variable and assign it a set of values enclosed in curly braces {}. Each value in the set is separated by a comma. Here are some examples:

-- Example 1: Creating an array of numbers
local myArray = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
-- Example 2: Creating an array of strings

local fruitArray = {"apple", "banana", "orange", "mango"}
-- Example 3: Creating a mixed array with different data types

local mixedArray = {1, "hello", true, 3.1416}

You can also create an empty array like this:

local emptyArray = {}

To access the elements of an array, you can use the indexing operator [] and the index number. The first element of an array is at index 1, the second at index 2, and so on. For example:

print(myArray[1])  -- Output: 1
print(fruitArray[3])  -- Output: orange
print(mixedArray[4])  -- Output: 3.1416

You can also loop through an array using the for loop. For example:

-- Prints all the elements of myArray
for i = 1, #myArray do
    print(myArray[i])
end

Note that the # symbol is used to get the length of the array, which is equal to the number of elements in the array.
