In Lua, you can create an array with different types by simply storing different types of values in the same array. Here's an example:
-- creating an array with different types
my_array = {10, "hello", true, 3.14}
-- accessing the array elements
print(my_array[1]) -- output: 10
print(my_array[2]) -- output: hello
print(my_array[3]) -- output: true
print(my_array[4]) -- output: 3.14
Here, we have created an array called my_array that contains four elements of different types: an integer (10), a string ("hello"), a boolean (true), and a floating point number (3.14). We can access individual elements in the array using a numerical index.
Note that Lua arrays are not strictly typed, meaning that you can change the type of a value stored at a particular index if you want to. However, as a good programming practice, it is usually better to keep the types of the values in an array consistent.
