Lua operators are expressions used to perform calculations or to pass arguments between different value types.
Conditional Operators
if | Query if something does or does not meet a certain condition. |
else | Do something else if the query condition was not met. |
elseif | Used to add additional if queries, if the initial query condition was not met. |
end | This is used to close various queries or functions; there must be the same amount of end as if; except in instances where elseif has been used. |
Example 1: if condition is true (method 1) | |
---|---|
local a = true
if a then
print("a = true")
end |
Example 2: if condition is true (method 2) | |
---|---|
local a = true
if a == true then
print("a = true")
end |
Example 3: if condition is false | |
---|---|
local a = false
if a == false then
print("a = false")
end |
Example 4: if condition is not met, then do else | |
---|---|
local a = false
if a then
print("a = true")
else
print("a = false")
end |
Example 5: if condition is not met, then do elseif | |
---|---|
local a = false
if a then
print("a = true")
elseif not a then
print("a = false")
end |
Logical Operators
and | Allows you to check multiple conditions in a single if query. |
or | Allows you to add an alternative if query into a single if query. |
not | Checks if condition equals false or negative. |
Example 1: if condition a is true and condition b is false then | |
---|---|
local a = true
local b = false
if a == true and b == false then
print("a = true", "b=false")
end |
Example 2: if condition is true or condition == true then | |
---|---|
local a = true
if a or a == true then
print("a = true")
end |
Example 3: if condition is not true | |
---|---|
local a = false
if not a then
print("a = false")
end |
