Lua table.insert did not work

Question

So recently I made this code where ill call a function to insert the data into the table, however it did not insert the data but does not return any errors, any problem with this?

datas = {}
function AddInfo(Name,Desc,dataser,Func)
table.insert(datas,{Name,Desc,dataser,Func})
end
for i,v in pairs(datas) do
print(i)
end
AddInfo("hw","Print Hello World to console","stringer",function()
print("Hello World")
end)

It does insert into the datas table. However, you are printing before the AddInfo gets called. Place your for i, v... loop after the AddInfo had a chance to run; and you'll get your desired insert operation result:

datas = {}
function AddInfo(Name,Desc,dataser,Func)
  table.insert(datas,{Name,Desc,dataser,Func})
end

AddInfo("hw","Print Hello World to console","stringer",function()
  print("Hello World")
end)

for i,v in pairs(datas) do
  print(i, v)
end
