Note in the example only the indexed elements of the table are displayed. See the TablesTutorial for more information on key-value and index-value pairs.
Also note that foreachi starts at index [1], increments the index by one repeatedly, and stops running as soon as it reaches a nil value. This is an example:
> t = { [0]      = "zero",  --will not be counted
        [1]      = "one",    --will be counted; 1
        [2]      = "two",    --will be counted; 2
        [3]      = "three",  --will be counted; 3
        ["four"] = "four",  --will not be counted; returns 3
        [5]      = "five" }  --will never be reached
> foreachi(t, print)
1      one
2      two
3      three
In the above, it starts at t[1] (''not'' t[0]) and counts to t[3], printing the corresponding values along the way. It then checks t[4], sees it is nil, and stops running. t[5] is never checked - this ''will not hit every array index in a table, only the consecutive ones from one up until it hits its first blank index.''
