Meanings
-
A lightweight programming language with dynamic typing.
Lua is a dynamically typed language. This means that variables do not have types; only values do. There are no type definitions in the language. All values carry their own type. All values in Lua are first-class values. This means that all values can be stored in variables, passed as arguments to other functions, and returned as results.
