--So there are a handful of functions that I'm using in a lot of places
--So rather than continue to copy across the same handful of functions to every single new module
--I'm just going to unify them here
--Here's how you use this:
-- 1. When you're making a new module, add this near the top:
-- local Shared = require( "Module:Shared" )
-- 2. When you need to make a call to one of these functions,
-- just preface it with "Shared."
-- So for example you could call tableCount like so:
-- Shared.tableCount(data)
--This whole module copied wholesale from the Warframe wiki (https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Module:Shared)
--I removed a couple irrelevant functions, but otherwise did not change anything

-- For example, if you had a table that looked something like
-- data = {["Cat"] = 5,
-- ["Bat"] = 4,
-- ["Hat"] = 7}
-- You could do
-- for k, v in skpairs(data) do...
-- And your loop would start with k="Bat", v=4 then go to k="Cat", v=5,
-- and finally to k="Hat", v=7
