table.remove won't work

[hellboy]

TFS 0.3.6pl1

Like in title.
Simple example:

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
tttt = {[3] = 9, [7] = 55}
table.remove(tttt, 7)
print(table.maxn(tttt))
end

Why this script send to console 7 not 3?:

[23/04/2010 20:05:12] 7

???

 

[zieworski denero]

print(table.maxn(tttt))

 

[hellboy]

print(table.maxn(tttt))

...
Just look one more time to my first post... I used this function xS

#EDIT#
My mistake... changed question in first post why function table.remove won't work?

Size of the table does not reflect the number of elements (they're not in consecutive order), so nothing is removed.

Use this instead:

tttt[7] = nil
