FAQ

Q: pointers vs values (in general) ?

A:

Don't pass pointers as function arguments just to save a few bytes.

Don't pass a pointer to a string (*string) or a pointer to an interface value (*io.Reader). In both cases the value itself is a fixed size and can be passed directly.

Use pointes on large structs, or even small structs that might grow.

-- Variables
v1, v2, v3 = 3, 2, 1
print(v1,v2,v3, v4 --[[by default it's nil]])

v5, v6, v7 = true, 1, 0 -- Are all "true" values
v8, v9 = false, nil -- Are the only "false" values

--[[ Operators
1 - The logical AND, OR, and NOT
2 - The inequality operator is ~= instead of !=.
