Lua is a powerful scripting language commonly used in game development, embedded systems, and other fields. One of the fundamental concepts in programming is how data is passed between functions, which leads to the question: Is Lua pass by value?<\/p>\n

Yes, Lua is pass by value.<\/b> This means that when a variable is passed to a function in Lua, a copy of the variable’s value is created and passed to the function, rather than a reference to the original variable.<\/p>\n
