Operators

Special Behavior of the Logical Operators

Logical And

If the left-hand side can be converted to true, the right-hand side is returned; otherwise the left-hand side is returned:

io.print(99 and 61) // 61
io.print(0 and 61) // 0

Logical Or

If the left-hand side can be converted to true, it is returned; otherwise the right-hand side is returned:

io.print(99 or 61) // 99
io.print(0 or 61) // 61

Precedence

The following table shows Bia's operator precedence from highest to lowest.

Operator	Description	Associativity
a.b,a(),a[]	member access, function call, subscript	left-to-right
**	exponentiation
-a, ~a	unary minus, bitwise not	right-to-left
*, /, %	multiplication, division and remainder	left-to-right
+, -	addition and subtraction
<<, >>	bitwise shifts
&	bitwise and
^	bitwise xor
|	bitwise or
<=>	three-way comparison
in, <, >, <=, >=, !=, ==	including test and comparisons
not	logical not	right-to-left
and	logical and
or	logical or
