+local table = {}

+In the context of Lua, the local keyword is primarily used to declare local variables. It is not used specifically for instantiating tables. You can use the local keyword to create local variables of various types, including tables, numbers, strings, functions, and more. What creates the table is the curly braces in the syntax ({}). If you wanted to instantiate a table with parameters you can write something like this:


[proofreading] Since tables are being discussed in a Luau context, consider using that instead of Lua. Also, hyperlink the word to help readers see the connection more.

+### Accessing Items
+
+
+If your table is set up like an array, an important thing to note is that the index begins at 1 rather than at 0 as it is for other languages. Let's use this table as an example:


Alright. I'm not seeing a path for dictionary documentation. Does that not exist yet? lol Should I just create a hyperlink for each datatype?

CBID2

Looks good @a-m-lamb! :) Now you just a review from @SSwiniarski and then another review from a different maintainer.

CBID2

Well done

+Calling items from a table when it's formatted like a dictionary is a little different. You can get the value of items by the keys. Below is an example of how you can get the username value from the profile table.
+
+```
+//creating the profile table


code blocks should use 2 spaces for indentations, not tabs. Comments should have a space and begin with a capital -
// Printing the username in the table

Yes I do agree
