<p>If you have been wondering how to write anonymous functions in Lua, here are examples below:</p>
<h2 id="heading-as-an-inline-argument">As an inline argument:</h2>
<pre><code class="lang-swift"><span class="hljs-keyword">do</span>(function()
    <span class="hljs-built_in">print</span>(<span class="hljs-string">"Hello!"</span>)
end)
</code></pre>
<h2 id="heading-as-variable">As variable:</h2>
<pre><code class="lang-swift">myfunc = function(n)
    <span class="hljs-keyword">return</span> n*n
end

-- example of call
myfunc(<span class="hljs-number">5</span>)

-- example of use <span class="hljs-keyword">as</span> argument
<span class="hljs-keyword">do</span>(myfunc)
</code></pre>
