本文链接：https://blog.csdn.net/fm0517/article/details/142364370

1. 第一个程序

-- Example 1   -- First Program.
-- Classic hello program.

print("hello")

-------- Output ------
hello

2. 注释

-- Example 2   -- Comments.
-- Single line comments in Lua start with double hyphen.
--[[ Multiple line comments start
with double hyphen and two square brackets.
  and end with two square brackets. ]]

-- And of course this example produces no
-- output, since it's all comments!

-------- Output ------

3. 变量

-- Example 3   -- Variables.
-- Variables hold values which have types, variables don't have types.

a=1
b="abc"
c={}
d=print

print(type(a))
print(type(b))
print(type(c))
print(type(d))

-------- Output ------
number
string
table
function

4. 变量命名

-- Example 4   -- Variable names.
-- Variable names consist of letters, digits and underscores.
-- They cannot start with a digit.

one_two_3 = 123 -- is valid varable name
-- 1_two_3 is not a valid variable name.

-------- Output ------

5. 更多变量命名

-- Example 5   -- More Variable names.
-- The underscore is typically used to start special values
-- like _VERSION in Lua.

print(_VERSION)

-- So don't use variables that start with _,
-- but a single underscore _ is often used as a
-- dummy variable.

-------- Output ------
Lua 5.1

6. 大小写

-- Example 6   -- Case Sensitive.
-- Lua is case sensitive so all variable names & keywords
-- must be in correct case.

ab=1
Ab=2
AB=3
print(ab,Ab,AB)

-------- Output ------
1       2       3

7. 关键字（保留字）

-- Example 7   -- Keywords.
-- Lua reserved words are: and, break, do, else, elseif,
--     end, false, for, function, if, in, local, nil, not, or,
--     repeat, return, then, true, until, while.

-- Keywords cannot be used for variable names,
-- 'and' is a keyword, but AND is not, so it is a legal variable name.

AND=3
print(AND)

-------- Output ------
3

8. 字符串

-- Example 8   -- Strings.

a="single 'quoted' string and double \"quoted\" string inside"
b='single \'quoted\' string and double "quoted" string inside'
c= [[ multiple line
with 'single'
and "double" quoted strings inside.]]

print(a)
print(b)
print(c)

-------- Output ------
single 'quoted' string and double "quoted" string inside
single 'quoted' string and double "quoted" string inside
 multiple line
with 'single'
and "double" quoted strings inside.

9. 赋值

-- Example 9   -- Assignments.
-- Multiple assignments are valid.
--  var1,var2=var3,var4

a,b,c,d,e = 1, 2, "three", "four", 5
print(a,b,c,d,e)

-------- Output ------
1       2       three   four    5

10. 更多赋值

-- Example 10   -- More Assignments.
-- Multiple assignments allows one line to swap two variables.

print(a,b)
a,b=b,a
print(a,b)

-------- Output ------
1       2
2       1

11. 数值

-- Example 11   -- Numbers.
-- Multiple assignment showing different number formats.
-- Two dots (..) are used to concatenate strings (or a
-- string and a number).

a,b,c,d,e = 1, 1.123, 1E9, -123, .0008
print("a="..a, "b="..b, "c="..c, "d="..d, "e="..e)

-------- Output ------
a=1     b=1.123 c=1000000000    d=-123  e=0.0008

12. 输出

-- Example 12   -- More Output.
-- More writing output.

print "Hello from Lua!"
print("Hello from Lua!")

-------- Output ------
Hello from Lua!
Hello from Lua!

13. 更多输出

-- Example 13   -- More Output.
-- io.write writes to stdout but without new line.

io.write("Hello from Lua!")
io.write("Hello from Lua!")

-- Use an empty print to write a single new line.
print()

-------- Output ------
Hello from Lua!Hello from Lua!

14. 表

-- Example 14   -- Tables.
-- Simple table creation.

a={} -- {} creates an empty table
b={1,2,3} -- creates a table containing numbers 1,2,3
c={"a","b","c"} -- creates a table containing strings a,b,c
print(a,b,c) -- tables don't print directly, we'll get back to this!!

-------- Output ------
table: 00F064A0 table: 00F06590 table: 00F064C8

15. 更多表

-- Example 15   -- More Tables.
-- Associate index style.

address={} -- empty address
address.Street="Wyman Street"
address.StreetNumber=360
address.AptNumber="2a"
address.City="Watertown"
address.State="Vermont"
address.Country="USA"

print(address.StreetNumber, address["AptNumber"])

-------- Output ------
360     2a

16. if 语句

-- Example 16   -- if statement.
-- Simple if.

a=1
if a==1 then
    print ("a is one")
end

-------- Output ------
a is one

17. if - else 语句

-- Example 17   -- if else statement.

b="happy"
if b=="sad" then
    print("b is sad")
else
    print("b is not sad")
end

-------- Output ------
b is not sad

18. if - elseif - else 语句

-- Example 18   -- if elseif else statement

c=3
if c==1 then
    print("c is 1")
elseif c==2 then
    print("c is 2")
else
    print("c isn't 1 or 2, c is "..tostring(c))
end

-------- Output ------
c isn't 1 or 2, c is 3

19. 条件赋值

-- Example 19   -- Conditional assignment.
-- value = test and x or y

a=1
b=(a==1) and "one" or "not one"
print(b)

-- is equivalent to
a=1
if a==1 then
    b = "one"
else
    b = "not one"
end
print(b)

-------- Output ------
one
one

20. while 循环语句

-- Example 20   -- while statement.

a=1
while a~=5 do -- Lua uses ~= to mean not equal
    a=a+1
    io.write(a.." ")
end

-------- Output ------
2 3 4 5

21. repeat - until 循环

-- Example 21   -- repeat until statement.

a=0

-------- Output ------
1234
14

23. 更多 for 循环
