I guess I'll post new bad code since the last one wouldn't work out.

My code:

while true do
local event, button, x, Y = os.pullEvent()
 if event == "mouse_click" then
  if x>1 and x<10 and Y==1 and button==1 then
   print("Hi") 
  elseif X>1 and x<10 and y=2 and button ==1 then
   print("Hello")
  else
  end
 end
end

The error in that piece of code is a simple mistake I often make within my OS.

you assign the return value to a lower case 'x' and then later try to use an uppercase 'X'

if " 2+2" == "4" then
  print("4")
end

yes its real simple :/

Yes to that - but- also note for the 2nd Y; there is only one = instead of two.

Lemme clean your code:

[color=#000088]if[/color][color=#000000] [/color][color=#008800]"2+2"[/color][color=#000000] [/color][color=#666600]==[/color][color=#000000] [/color][color=#008800]"4"[/color][color=#000000] [/color][color=#000088]then --space before 2+2[/color]
[color=#000000]  [/color][color=#000088]print[/color][color=#666600]([/color][color=#008800]"4"[/color][color=#666600])[/color]
[color=#000088]end[/color]

Am I right?

Lemme clean your code:

if "2+2" == "4" then --space before 2+2
print("4")
end

Yes but not yes; note the 2nd Y only has one = instead of two? (It is y=1, it should be y==1)

Lemme clean your code.

if "2+2" == "4" then --The space before the 2+2?
  print("4")
end

Am I right?

Here is my code:

while true do
print("Press any key to see how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.")
os.pullEvent("key)
print("A woodchuck could chuck no amount of wood since a woodchuck couldn't chuck wood.")
end
end

Nice joke there!! I guess..

Your code isn't intended but,
You forgot a ' " ' on the os.pullEvent() line.

You can't do maths on strings i think.

My code:

function obj()
  return {local num = 4}
end
Obj = obj()
print(Obj.num)

Im prettysure you cant, its valid code but the statement always returns false.

[Alice]

function obj()
  return (local num = 4)
end
Obj = obj()
print(Obj.num)

helloWorld == function ()
local text==hello
print(text)
end ()

  return num

Obj = obj()
aNumber = Obj()
print(aNumber)

helloWorld == function ()
local text=="hello"

end

Not sure about the helloWorld == function () and end parts, as well as the Obj() = obj().

[Alice]

helloWorld = function ()
local text = "hello"
print(text)
end

Yeah. since functions are variables, you can declare a variable's value as a function like I just did above.
Also, text == "hello" works only if it's in an if statement iirc

[bentallea]

data = "asdjgh askdfgjhskadfjg hsdfjgh aksrghj sdhgsdf gks"
if data:find(" ") == 4 then
  print('true')
end

and sometimes you need to define them that way.

however it should be noted that this

local one = function()
  --# statements
end

is not the same as this

local function one()
  --# statements
end

Nice code to clean Bit.
And what is the difference?

for i=1; 10 do
print(i)
end

Lets see if I can find my massive writeup I've done in AaP.

I don't check there often It was a quick question, I'll look myself. Is it under the Renewal Project?

Here it is take a look at the spoiler in the spoiler.

Thanks
Also, reposting code

I know I'm late..But you forgot to correct the less than to greater than.
Lemme take my part now...


Fix:

for i = 1, 10 do
print(i)
end

Just a semi-colon.

Here's mine;

for i = 5, 999
print(Numb is; ".i.")
end

[Alice]

Fixed:

for i=5, 999 do
 print('Number is: ' .. i)
end

New code:

for i=1, 100 do
if 'i' then print(I)
end

[CometWolf]

for i=1, 100 do
  print(i)
end

Come on guys, you're being given 15 lines to work with here, stop all doing the same thing...

local t1 = {}
local t2 = {
  derp = "test"
  1 = 2
}
setMetatable(t1,
  {__lt = function(table,val)
	return false
  end}
)
if t1 < t2 then
  print"You win"
else
  error"You fail, metatables ftw!" --Don't remove this line lol
end
