print()

Single-line comments are created using two consecutive forward slashes. The compiler ignores any text after --
on the same line.
-- This line denotes a comment in Lua.
Multi-line comments are created using --[[
to begin the comment, and ]]
to end the comment. The compiler ignores any text in between.
--[[This is all commented out.None of it is going to run!]]
