this is my first program:


while true do
print("true or false")
term.write(">")
local b = io.read()
print("which side")
term.write(">")
local a = io.read()
redstone.setOutput("a", B)/>

I cant see what is wrong with this

I made no screenshots
for testing I did false, then left

The string false isn't equivalent to the boolean false. You could change it to this to make it a boolean:


local b = read() == "true"

I prefer not to use io.read and io.write.

+1 for the epic topic title

1.read the sticky
2.read carefully your code : 'a', 'A' and ' "a" ' ared three different things.
