what does a colon do in a variable or argument ive seen someone use it and wondered what it does
its something like this
local variable : something = value
and also ive seen someone use “export” in a script and i cant find any information about what it does so could someone explain to me how it works
When you see something like how you’ve shown, it’s basically declaring a variable as a certain type, example
local result : number = 10
This will say that the variable result is a variable for numbers. It’s mostly used for type checking when you have the script that has --!strict as the first line in the script, so the script wont complain at you about type errors
As for export, I’m not sure what are you talking about, could it have been a variable in the script?
export type variable
export then afterwards a variable
The only place I’ve found something related to what you said was here, the Github page for luau. It’s at the very bottom, may that answers your question about exports?
