Study Notes

  • Lua/Luau part 2

NOT Operator

  • Reverses a condition.
  • not(2+2==4) prints false.

Relational Operators

  • Used for comparison.
  • Equal: ==
    • Example: (2+2 == 4) results in true
  • Not Equal: ~=
    • Example: (2~=5) results in true
  • Greater Than: >
    • Example: (3>2) results in true
  • Less Than: <
    • Example: (2<3) results in true
  • Greater Than or Equal To: >=
    • Example: (3>=3) results in true
  • Less Than or Equal To: <=
    • Example: (3<=3) results in true
  • Checks if value is to the right and is between > and <
    • Example: (4<5>3) results in true

Combining Operators

  • Conditions can be combined using and or or.
  • Example: (2+2 == 4 and 3 +3 == 6) results in true

Loops

  • Loops execute a block of code multiple times.

For Loops

  • Executes a block of code a specific number of times.
  • Allows specifying the start, end, and increment/decrement value of a counter.
  • Increment/Decrement allows you to set how much the counter changes each iteration.
  • Nested Loops are loops inside other loops.

Breaks, Continues, and Comments

  • Control flow within loops and add commentary.
  • Break Statement exits a loop prematurely based on a condition.
  • Continue Statement skips the rest of the current iteration of a loop.

Comments

  • Single-line comments start with --.
  • Multi-line comments are enclosed in --[[ ]].

Else Statements

  • else statements execute code when the if condition is false.
