RE: [ANN] Lua 5.3.0 (rc1) now available

["ForthCAD" <3d@...>]

I prefer the version 5.3. The code is much cleaner with this distinction
between integers and real numbers.

About the quiz, in version 5.2, I believe that all values are considered
equal to 2.

Porting to version 5.3 is now complete for me. That works very well :)

Thanks !

That certainly would help, but an essential point is to understand how
you *want* to round these values.

As this point has come up several times, I have a quick quiz for this
list. Without running the code, what are the results of the following
expressions in Lua 5.2?

  string.rep("a", 2.7)
  string.format("%d", 2.7)
  string.rep("a", 2.3)
  string.format("%d", 2.3)
