tbl={}
function _test()
return 1,2,"Hello World"
end
1
tbl={1,2,"Hello World"}
It could be done just like:

tbl={}
function _test()
return {1,2,"Hello World"}
end
tbl=_test()
Is it possible in another way?

function test(r)
local t={}
for i=1,r do
table.insert(t,i)
end
return t
end
table.foreach(test(10),print)
I just have to return a table with values in it...
Dead serious.

function test()
return 3,4,5
end
print(unpack({test()})) -- 3 4 5
print(unpack({1,2,test()})) -- 1 2 3 4 5
print(unpack({test(), 5,7})) -- 3 5 7
print(unpack({1,test(),5})) -- 1 3 5
This was introduced when the same bytecode primitive for top-of-stack expansion was introduced for vararg and also for returning multiple values.
Consequently, this makes it impossible to determine the size of a "constant" initialized table during parsing.

Lua is so primitive and it's surprising me
Thanks, you all a lot:
mafia_man, Snurq, Lee, Flacko and EngiN33R. Avo has writtenLua is so primitive and it's surprising me
Wth. Are you not serious?
except for metatables, maybe omg has writtenlua IS primitive lol...doesnt support objects, anyway except for metatables, maybe
except for metatables, maybeThe good thing about Lua is its versatility. With advanced features of Lua you can implement classes and objects functionality with relative ease. Don't call it primitive. It wasn't exactly designed by cavemen, nor for cavemen.
EngiN33R: I agree with you, it's simple not primitive. Also it's just script language. It is not C++,C,Pascal... 1
