I was scared to deviate from my learning method but this is really good !10/10. In addition to that your voice is smooth and relaxing.

Hello Brian: I don't believe LUA has the traditional SQL "CASE" statement, have you covered an alternative (SELECT, WHEN etc?). An alternative to nested IF's. I have situation, when it meets the first instance of a WHEN, to perform the assignment and jump out. Sometimes, multiple IF THENs get a bit too complex looking.

so basically the if-then else script is just


"ok if the variable is equal to this then
do this
but if not then
do this"

LOGICAL OPERATOR


print(4 and 5) --> 5
print(nil and 13) --> nil
print(false and 13) --> false
print(4 or 5) --> 4
print(false or 5) --> 5
