Lua is known to be a versatile and powerful scripting language commonly used in video game development, embedded systems, and other applications. One common question that arises among Lua developers is whether Lua passes arguments by value or by reference. To put it simply, **Lua passes arguments by value.** This means that when you pass a variable to a function in Lua, a copy of the value is made and passed to the function, rather than passing a reference to the original variable.<\/p>\n
