How can I get the data which is a table inside a table, i mean like this:

t = { {a, b, c}, {d, e, f} };

if I write this line of code:

print( t[1] )

the result will be —–>>> {a, b, c}

BUT

how can I print just the letter “a”? without using ipairs I mean is there any way to use something like t[1]?

Have you tried t[1][1]? That should get you the first index in the table you get from t[1]
