Lua table functions

Note: [var] -> means var is optional 

table.concat(table, [separator], [start index], [end index (inclusive)])
	Concatenates the strings in the table based on the parameters given.
   	
table.insert(table, [pos], value)
	Inserts a value into the table at specified position.

table.remove(table, [pos])
	Removes the value from the table.

table.sort (table ,[comp])
	Sorts the table based on optional comparator argument.
