There are rules for variable names. A variable starts with a letter or an underscore. It can't contain anything other than letters, underscores, or digits. It also can't be one of the following reserved words of Lua:

  • and

  • break

  • do

  • else

  • elseif

  • end

  • false

  • for

  • function

  • if

  • in

  • local

  • nil

  • not

  • or

  • repeat

  • return

  • then

  • true

  • until

  • while

The following are valid variables:

  • x

  • X

  • ABC

  • _abc

  • test_01

  • myGroup

The following are invalid variables:

  • function

  • my-variable

  • 123

Note

Lua is also a case-sensitive language. For example, else is a reserved word, but Else and ELSE are two different, valid names.
