Lua - Insert table values

Question

I got a table of form let's say:

house = {
             ["Street 22"] = {
                        {name = "George", age = 20},
                        {name = "Pete", age = 25}
                      },
             ["Street 30"] = {
                        {name = "John", age = 32},
                    }
           }

And I want to insert programmatically a third house, that is key "Street 35", with a person's details, Nick and 30 let's say. I am relatively new to lua and don't know how to do this, I must use table.insert but I am having troubles following the above format... Some help please?

Answer 1

Do it simple so:

house["Street 52"] = {{name = "Nick", age = 30}}

Answer 2

did you read this and get confused?

just try table.insert(house, {name = "Nick", age = 30}) and house[3] now contains the new element.

Answer 3

You could also mutate the third element of the houses table like this:

house[3]={name = "Nick", age = 30}
