table.create

Creates a table preallocated for a number of entries, optionally filled with one value.

Syntax

table.create(count: number, value?: any) -> table

Parameter	Type	Description
`count`	number	Number of entries to reserve. Must not be negative.
`value`	any	Optional value assigned to indices 1..count.

Type	Description
`table`	The new table.

When value is omitted the table is only preallocated and stays empty, matching Luau.

A negative count raises table.create: count must be non-negative.

local zeros = table.create(5, 0)
print(#zeros, zeros[1])  -- 5  0

local rows = table.create(3)
print(#rows)             -- 0

table.create(n, {}) — Shares one table across all slots; build each row in a loop instead.
