if, else, else if and end Lua

if-statement, lua

Solution

It's `elseif`, not `else if` (notice the space). The error is because the interpreter expects an `end` to each `else` block.

See the manual for more information.

Problem

Any idea why this is wrong in Lua? ``` if Pieza == 1 then if Rotacion == 1 then Piezas = Cuadrado1 else if Rotacion == 2 then Piezas = Cuadrado2 else if Rotacion == 3 then --this is Line 273 Piezas = Cuadrado3 else if Rotacion == 4 then Piezas = Cuadrado4 else io.write("Me Envio una rotacion que no existe? \n"); end --this end closes the if inside the first if the one using to compare Rotacion else if Pieza == 2 then if Rotacion == 1 then Piezas = I1 else if Rotacion == 2 then Piezas = I2 else if Rotacion == 3 then Piezas = I3 else if Rotacion == 4 then Piezas = I4 else io.write("Me Envio una rotacion que no existe? \n"); end --this end closes the if inside the first if the one using to compare Rotacion else --this else is in case Pieza != 1 || 2 io.write("Me Envio una pieza que no existe? \n"); end --this close the whole if (the one comparing "Pieza") ``` The error I'm getting is this 'end' expected (to close 'if' at line 273) near 'else' Also, adding end after each if (this is not what should be done but tried it anyway) is not working... If you need me to translate to english I will gladly do it commentaries and everything but I thought it wasn't neccesary for this question.
