FAQ
- What is Lua primarily used for?
Lua is primarily used for embedded systems and game development due to its lightweight nature. - How do you define a function in Lua?
You define a function in Lua using the 'function' keyword followed by the function name and parameters. - What are metatables in Lua?
Metatables in Lua allow you to change the behavior of tables, enabling operator overloading and custom methods. - How can you handle errors in Lua?
You can handle errors in Lua using the 'pcall' function, which calls a function in protected mode.
