Note that ipairs() starts at index 1 and stops counting as soon as it reaches a nil value. 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
> for i,v in ipairs(t) do print(i..":"..v) end
1:one
2:two
3:three
Note that t[0] is never reached because it starts counting at [1], t["four"] is never reached because it is not an array index, and t[5] is never reached because the iterator ceases when it checks t[4] and finds a nil value.
