Variables & Types

Variables & Types

Lua is dynamically typed. Variables are declared with local:

local name = "Alice"
local age = 30
local active = true
local nothing = nil

Lua has these basic types: nil, boolean, number, string, table, and function.

Use type() to check a value's type:

print(type(42))       -- number
print(type("hello"))  -- string
print(type(true))     -- boolean
print(type(nil))      -- nil

Your Task

Create variables for a name (string), an age (number), and print them on separate lines.
