Class: (global)

Description

Returns three values: an iterator function, the table t, and nil, so that the construction:

for i,v in pairs(t) do body end

will iterate over any key pairs (indexed or associative) even with nil values.

(function), (table), (nil) = pairs(t)

Parameters

t: (table) table to iterate

Return values

Returns (function) iterator function
Returns (table) provided table
Returns (nil) nil value
