p = {} -- I think this is a Lua "table"

-- we could have seveal functions, each of which is an entry in the table p
-- below, the syntax "function p.CleverName(frame)"" means the same as "p.Hi=function(frame)"

function p.CleverName(frame)
return "Hello world."
end

-- the "frame" object containts an object called args. frame.args is a table
-- frames.arg.name is a string explicitly created at the other may be the user's name
p.Hi = function(frame)
strName = frame.args.name or "Jimbo" -- uses "Jimbo" if name was nil; that is, wasn't specified
return "Hello from Lua to my friend " .. strName .. ".<br>"
end

function p.temperature(frame)
cel = tonumber(frame.args.celsius or 0)
fah = cel * 9 / 5 + 32
-- if cel > 10 then
-- msg = "The temperature's over 10"
-- else
-- msg = "The temperature's not over 10"
-- end
return fah -- .. msg
end

-- an example with a loop
p.times = function(frame)
local num = tonumber (frame.args.num) or 2
local out = "Times table<br>"
for i = 1, 10 do
out = out .. i* num .. "<br>"
