Hey guys, so i wonder if you could do math with a table like this

local temp = {
"(",
"10",
"+",
"5",
")",
"*",
"2"
}
print(table.concat(temp))

The code above outputs "(10+5)*2"
But i wonder if somehow i could make it do the math, so it outputs "30"?

Change the last line to this:

print( loadstring( "return " .. table.concat( temp ) )() )

To clarify, loadstring turns a string into a function. I added "return " to the beginning of the operation so that the created function would return the result. I then called the function, which returned the result, and the result was printed by print.
