Returns an iterator triple that allows for loops to iterate over all key/value pairs in a table.

iteratorFunc, table, startState = pairs(table);

Example

local random_array = { mug = "coffee", [42] = "universe", testboolean = false }

for index,value in pairs(random_array) do 
  DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(tostring(index).." : "..tostring(value))
end

Result:

 mug : coffee
 42 : universe
 testboolean : false

would be output to the chat window.
