lua 函数 默认值_定义函数参数的默认值

If you want named arguments and default values like PHP or Python, you can call your function with a table constructor:

myfunction{a,b=3,c=2}

(This is seen in many places in Lua, such as the advanced forms of LuaSocket's protocol modules and constructors in IUPLua.)

The function itself could have a signature like this:

function myfunction(t)

setmetatable(t,{__index={b=7, c=5}})

local a, b, c =

t[1] or t.a,

t[2] or t.b,

t[3] or t.c

-- function continues down here...

end

Any values missing from the table of parameters will be taken from the __index table in its metatable (see the documentation on metatables).

Of course, more advanced parameter styles are possible using table constructors and functions- you can write whatever you need. For example, here is a function that constructs a function that takes named-o
