Recap - Manage Party Members

Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's Lua journey — lesson 63 of 90.

Challenge

Easy

Create an adventuring party management system that demonstrates all the core list-style table operations. Start by creating a table named adventurers containing exactly three string values: "Gandalf", "Legolas", and "Gimli". After creating the table, perform the following operations in sequence:

First, use the length operator # to print the current number of party members. Next, use table.insert() to add "Aragorn" as a new member to the party. Then, use table.remove() to remove the first member from the party. To remove an element at a specific position, pass the index as a second argument: table.remove(adventurers, 1) removes the element at index 1 (which is "Gandalf") and automatically shifts the remaining members down. Finally, print the length of the party again to show the final count.

Try it yourself

-- Create the adventurers table with the initial members
local adventurers = {"Gandalf", "Legolas", "Gimli"}

-- TODO: Write your code here
-- 1. Print the current number of party members using the length operator
-- 2. Add "Aragorn" to the party using table.insert()
-- 3. Remove the first member using table.remove()
-- 4. Print the final number of party members
