How to add a new key and value for a table?

[Kenneth Law]

Give a situation that I have localed a table like

Code Select Expand

local table = { "a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3 };
How can I add a new key and a new value for it then?
For example a new key which is "d" and a new value which is 4 so that the table will become { "a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3, "d": 4 };

The easiest way should be

Code Select Expand

table["d"] <- 4
You can also use table.rawset
