Attempt to call global 'winners' (a table value) (1 Viewer)

[fuad]

hi all

i hope if some one can help me, i am new with lua and i try to understand what going on with my simple code

this is my code

function win(classMates , winners)
    res = {}
    for i=1,#winners do
        for j=1,#classMates do
            print(3)
            if winners == classMates[j] then res = 1 else res = 0 end
            print(res)
        end
    end
end

classMates = {"frank" , "alex" , "soli"}
winners = {"lora" , "frank" , "sandra" ,"alex"}

print(winners(classMates,winners))

if i run it i have a debbug -- >

lua: [string "<eval>"]:15: attempt to call global 'winners' (a table value)
stack traceback:
     [string "<eval>"]:15: in main chunk

any help ? any one know why ?

It's because winners is not a function; I think you meant print(win(classMates, winners)) on the last line.
