What is the best way to access a specific element in a table?

What if you want to access a single element in a table, rather than a whole row or whole column?

For accessing a single element, look at the .getColumn and .get methods.

For example:

table.getColumn("ColName").get([row #]) //indexing starts at 0, and is positional

Note that getColumn and get are simple for accessing a single element in position space; but are inefficient for accessing many values. ColumnSource and Chunk objects provide much more efficient bulk data access.
