lol = {"a", "b"}

if unpack(lol) == "a b" then
    print("yep")
end

It never prints "yep", what is the reason behind that?

my dude. just unpack into a table then compare via an in-depth function Fifkee 2017 — 5y

You don't understand Tuples

You can't compare tuples, much less like that. I highly suggest you go read up on how Tuples work.

 t = {"a","b"}

if unpack(t) == "a" and "b" then
    print('yep')
    end

"a b" would be considered as one element. thats the problem

works fine for me. i don't know why you downvoted Theswagger66 54 — 5y

I downvoted because it's wrong. Try it with t = {'a', 'b'} but don't change your condition User#6546 35 — 5y

It will (incorrectly) print 'yep' User#6546 35 — 5y

I wrote t={'a','b'} by accident but I meant t={'a', 'c'} User#6546 35 — 5y
