Lua一共包含8个基本数据类型

nil:        print(type(nil))
boolean:    print(type(true))
number:     print(type(2.0))
string:     print(type("abc"))
function:   print(type(type))
userdata:
thread:     print(type(coroutine.create(function()end)))
table:      print(type({}))

Lua标准库包括以下10个库:

基本库
pcall (f [, arg1, ···])
xpcall (f, msgh [, arg1, ···])
协程操作库
coroutine.create(function(i) print(i); end)
coroutine.isyieldable ()
coroutine.resume (co [, val1, ···])
coroutine.running ()
coroutine.status (co)
coroutine.wrap (f)
coroutine.yield (···)
包库

package.config
package.cpath
package.loaded
package.loadlib (libname, funcname)
