Re: [NTG-context] running lua in metafun and in ConTeXt

      Dear Hans,

Thank you for your nice code.
lua.MP.Whatever is something!

Have a nice weekend.

Best regards,

Dear all,
The problem is solved by using the namespace of lua as below:
I am not sure what I did is the right way.
If it is not the right way, please let me know.
Thanks for reading.

Sunday afternoon educational moment (that you can wikify), four variants:
1 : A more metafunish alternative of your example.
2 : The same but avoiding a temporary variable.
3 : Less code and clutter, the real deal.
4 : Idem, but permits more tuning at the TeX end.
\unexpanded\def\MyWhatever#1#2#3%
 {$\displaystyle{#1\choose #2} = #3$}

local function fact(n)
   if n <= 0 then
       return 1
   else
       return n * fact(n - 1)

  return fact(n) / (fact(r) * fact(n-r))
end
