Data types


Lua has the following basic data types:

  • number: This stores integer and double-float numbers

  • string: This is the sequence of bytes

  • boolean: This stores false and true values

  • table: This stores associative arrays that can be used to represent multiple data structures

  • function: This is an object of a function

  • nil: This indicates that a data type or variable lacks a value

  • userdata: This exposes the values of C objects (or other non-Lua objects)

  • thread: This is an independent thread of execution
