local function A(name, age, hobby)
print(name .. "is " .. age .. " years old and likes " .. hobby)
end
A("john", "eating", 23) --> prints 'john is eating years old and likes 23'
-- oops, seems we got the order of the arguments wrong...
-- this happens a lot, specially with long functions that take a lot of arguments
-- and where the order doesn't follow any particular logic
local function B(tab)
print(tab.name .. "is " ..tab.age.. " years old and likes " .. tab.hobby)
end
local john = {name="john", hobby="golf", age="over 9000", comment="plays too much golf"}
B(john)
--> will print 'John is over 9000 years old and likes golf'
-- I also added a 'comment' argument just to show that excess arguments are ignored by the function
B({name = "tim"}) -- can also be written as
B{name = "tim"} -- to avoid cluttering the code
--> both will print 'tim is nil years old and likes nil'
-- remember to check for missing arguments and deal with them
function C(tab)
if nottab.agethen return nil, "age not defined" end
tab.hobby=tab.hobbyor "nothing"
-- print stuff
end
-- note that if we later decide to do a 'person' class
-- we just need to make sure that this class has the three fields
-- age, hobby and name, and it will be compatible with these functions
-- example:
local john = ClassPerson.new("John", 20, "golf") -- some sort of constructor
john.address = "some place" -- modify the object
john:do_something("information") -- call some function of the object
C(john) -- this works because objects are *usually* implemented as tables
