Re: A strange error found (x^y == x)

Thank you, guys.

It seems the Serial-Tool used by me send error string to the Lua-Interpreter.

When a string I typed contained '^', the Serial-Tool just sent the characters before '^'.

So, it is NOT a bug/err of lua.

"2^2" is computed at compile time because it's a constant _expression_.
"return 2^2" gives this bytecode:

VARARGPREP      0
LOADF           0 4
RETURN          0 2 1   ; 1 out
RETURN          0 1 1   ; 0 out

which matches your report except that you had LOADI instead of LOADF.
