Hi,
Today I was working on my code but when I executed it gave me a strange error:

--the error
Error

Syntax error: libs/sav.lua:16: '=' expected near 'love'



Traceback

[love "callbacks.lua"]:228: in function 'handler'
[C]: at 0x7ffeecd331d0
[C]: in function 'require'
main.lua:3: in function 'load'
[love "callbacks.lua"]:136: in function <[love "callbacks.lua"]:135>
[C]: in function 'xpcall'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

here is the code:

Code: Select all

l = {}
function l.load(file)
    if love.filesystem.getInfo(file) then
        return(love.filesystem.read(file))
    else
        love.filesystem.newFile(file)
        love.filesystem.write(file, 0)
        return(love.filesystem.read(file))
    end
end
function l.save(val, file)
    if love.filesystem.getInfo(file) then
        love.filesystem.write(file, val)
    else
        l.load
        love.filesystem.write(file, val)
    end
end

Hope you guys will help me !

You are missing () on previous line (before l.load), so Lua thinks, you want tonassign some value to l.load, and that’s why it wants =. In some languages, it is valid to call function like that, but in lua, you have ti call it in one of following ways:

Code: Select all

func() -- normal call
func{} -- direct table parameter (you can give only first parameter this way)
func”” -- direct string parameter (you can give only first parameter this way)
