is this script right?
Please make your question title relevant to your question content. It should be a one-sentence summary in question form.
2+2=4
if (2 + 2 == 4) then
print("2+2=4. This is correct")
else
print("2+2 is not 4 it is 9. Check your math")
end

Yes, except remember that the first line is not valid Lua.
If it's simply a remark about the code (like it is) then it should be in a comment, specified with two hyphens:
-- 2 + 2 = 4
As a stylistic note, the parenthesis around 2 + 2 == 4 are not required and would usually be omitted.
In addition, it is best practice to tab code to make the "blocks" (the things which are part of if, while, for, function, etc) more obvious:
-- 2+2=4
if 2 + 2 == 4 then
print("2+2=4. This is correct")
else
print("2+2 is not 4 it is 9. Check your math")
end

the parentheses around "2+2=4. This is correct" would also be omitted. 1waffle1 2908 — 10y

While they can be, I don't see it very commonly and don't consider it good practice since that can only be done with literal strings and tables. BlueTaslem 18071 — 10y
