It gets annoying when...

You're writing out a periodic table of elements for a script:


local Periodic = {
Symbol = {
Number = Atomic_Number,
Mass = Atomic_Mass,
Name = Name_Of_Element
}
}


Honestly it takes forever

I think it's simpler to put it in a file then make a function that store then in a table.
I've already done this before with the periodic table and it not so long to do.

You can write one element per line like this:
Symbol ; Name ; Atomic Mass ; X ; Y in the table ; Other stuff

H;Hydrogen;1.008;1;1   -- Hydrogen
He;Helium;4.0026;18;1  -- Helium
...

I want them in a lookup table, from the start, it's more efficient.

Gonna try and make a script to convert this into a table and print it out so I can copy-paste: github.com/diniska/chemistry/blob/master/PeriodicalTable/periodicTable.json
