Function to Change Task Status

Part of the Introduction To Luau section of Coddy's Lua journey. Lesson 49 of 80.

Challenge

Easy

Add a function that marks a task as done.

Delete the lines under -- Try it.
Write local function completeTask(list: {Task}, id: number): boolean: when a task's id matches, set its done to true and return true; after the loop, return false.
Under -- Try it, print completeTask(tasks, 1), tasks[1].done and completeTask(tasks, 99).

Press Run Code: the output shows true, true and false.

Try it yourself

-- The shape every task in the manager follows
type Task = {
    id: number,
    title: string,
    done: boolean,
}
local tasks: {Task} = {
    {id = 1, title = "Learn Luau types", done = false},
    {id = 2, title = "Build a task manager", done = false},
    {id = 3, title = "Write tests", done = true},
}
-- Build a task with the next free id and add it to the list
local function addTask(list: {Task}, title: string): Task
    local newTask: Task = {id = #list + 1, title = title, done = false}
    table.insert(list, newTask)
    return newTask
end
-- Try it
print(addTask(tasks, "Review the code").id)
