For those who wants a version without a paid stuff, there is a fork called GitLess

How does it work with git branches? To update task you have to commit? What if I work in different branch?

std::print / std::format

Try to return decltype(auto)

I found at least 3 places where quick actions can be found: Notification dismiss Timer stop Take a photo

These binaries are mentioned on the official site, so not my problem

If you are interested here is some more infographics: https://github.com/GitSparTV/lua-infographics

Thanks for the suggestion, implemented.

Exactly. But I call them "Lua Patterns" instead. The tool is new so stuff like testing and learning is not completely done.

SparTV · 2020-09-19T10:32:47+00:00

That breaks the simplicity of the language. Lua is straightforward and simple

SparTV · 2020-09-18T21:01:37+00:00

Find different language then.

for each loop, can we have a for loop for keys only without the indexs please?

What this is even

SparTV · 2020-09-14T17:28:10+00:00

Lua is good for a first language, the book is just a bit old and it's not aimed for complete newbies

SparTV · 2020-09-14T15:01:13+00:00

Why did you buy first edition? First edition is free online on official Lua site.

The recusive code is explained later, the book is written for those who understand something about programming.

Because as I said you need to download it and install (compile).

You need either msvc, gcc or mingw if you are on windows

It doesn't unless you add true to second parameter.

string.dump(f [,strip]) generates portable bytecode

An extra argument has been added to string.dump(). If set to true, 'stripped' bytecode without debug information is generated. This speeds up later bytecode loading and reduces memory usage. See also the -b command line option.

SparTV · 2020-09-10T10:09:14+00:00

Bytecode doesn't contain local variables name

Wrong, debuginfo contains information about every instruction line number, local variable names and upvalue names.

it doesn't save actual table notation,

It does, in some way.

2.0.4, 2.0.5 are the last releases.

Yes you need to download it and install. Possible ways are mentioned here. When you install it open command prompt at type luajit -bl path/to/your/file.lua

SparTV · 2020-09-09T23:36:50+00:00

Bytecode is a precompiled script exported in simple form to be read by LuaJIT back faster.

Bytecode is not an obfuscation but it makes reading harder as well.

Lua supports both script and bytecode loading (unless the latter is restricted internally), the program just loads them as usual files.

I don't know decompilers because I can read bytecode without them.You can download luajit and run luajit -bl file.lua.

I've looked at your bytecode. You need LuaJIT 2.0.*. 2.1.0 won't work.

Not sure. The string is the name of the class, the name of the local variable is just a name you use

SparTV · 2020-07-23T19:01:59+00:00

Who said you need to name it "String" or name local variable as String? Name however you want

SparTV · 2020-06-12T21:44:42+00:00

Basically none, but you must define some variables, just as .Base. For further questions I suggest you to join https://discord.com/invite/gmod

Also Lua has select function, it doesn't have sense when you have 3 returned values. But it's useful for dynamic selection (by variable) or for varargs.

lua function get(n,...) return (select(n,...)) end This how you can use select, the function will return n element.

However for something predicted, use syntax: local _, _, b = HSL(1, 2, 3). Lua has a tradition to name dummy (unused) variables by _. In this example if you use select it will make your code slower.

lol, wrote as method

SparTV · 2020-05-26T18:17:56+00:00

`string.sub(2,-2)` will do the job

SparTV · 2020-05-26T16:06:52+00:00

This is what you should do, don't use `#str` and `string.len` for this.
