Talk:Basic Lua

From GMod Wiki

Do conditional expressions use 1 and 0 like in C/C++ or do they use actual boolean values like in java? I'm assuming 1/0 because that's easier to implement. In any case you should add that to the Conditionals subject. --Garthex 23:20, 2 December 2006 (GMT Standard Time)

It's late and I can't understand what you said, but iirc it's boolean.--Morpheous 23:22, 2 December 2006 (GMT Standard Time)

I don't know about the internals of Lua, so the C code for it might be using a basic #define for true and false, but as far as Lua is concerned, conditionals see false and nil as false and everything else as true. Yes, 0 and "0" both are seen as true. From a pedantic perspective, Lua has a true boolean type, but from a practical perspective, Lua is dynamically typed and thus it's easy to coerce something into a boolean.

I noticed that where else should be appropriately placed isn't on this page. This might confuse some of the newbs, so could someone change this?--Bawb 23:17, 21 April 2008 (GMT-6)

Started Cleanup

So I started cleaning up this page, hopefully its better and not worse. Cleaned up Variables and Functions and added Scopes. Right now, I have to go to bed and have school in the morning other wise I'd still be working on it. I have never used Lua specifically, but its not much different from the other languages I use, even then, please still check my Lua code and correct me.

Merge?

Seems like this should be incorporated with the Lua Tutorial Series, should it not? Having both the tutorial series and this seems redundant. I will look into adding the "merge to" and/or "merge from" Wikipedia templates to possibly address this.

The merging is a good idea. I've been meaning to do a complete overhaul of the lua tutorial but never got very far. --Crazy Quebecer 15:46, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

i think we there should just be a link to this page on the lua tutorial series page. --Tunnel Saturday dec 03 2011
