Lua multiple assignment with tables

Question

This code:

function foo()
    return 1, 2, 3
end

bar = {}

bar = {a, b, c = foo()}

produces:

bar.a = nil
bar.b = nil
bar.c         


        

Answer 1

If you can, have foo() return a table formatted the right way.

function foo()
    return {a = 1, b = 2, c = 3}
end

bar = foo()
