About the Lua Online Compiler
Lua is a lightweight scripting language frequently embedded in games, applications, and automation systems. This compiler supports quick experiments with tables, functions, loops, and compact scripts.
Use print to inspect results from tables, metatables, closures, coroutines, and string operations. The compiler runs ordinary Lua code without a host application, so engine-specific APIs from Roblox, game frameworks, or embedded products are not automatically available.
