Lua -- Function with Variable Argument

Function with Variable Argument

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/lua/lua_functions.htm

It is possible to create functions with variable arguments in Lua using '...' as its parameter. We can get a grasp of this by seeing an example in which the function will return the average and it can take variable arguments.

Live Demo

function average(...)
   result = 0
   local arg = {...}
   for i,v in ipairs(arg) do
      result = result + v
   end
   return result/#arg
end

print("The average is",average(10,5,3,4,5,6))

When we run the above code, we will get the following output.

The average is	5.5
