c# - Return a String with LuaInterface -

-

so, i'm trying implement lua scripting language in c#. it's simple enough, really, if use part of console application. want able create game console within xna. problem lua.dostring() seems return console line, rather string - which, said, fine console applications, want add output buffer string can display in-game, rather in console window. apologize if confusing - code clear up.

using system; using system.collections.generic; using luainterface;  namespace luaconsolelibrary {     public class luaconsole     {         private lua lua;          private bool isrunning = true;         private string input;         private list<string> outputbuffer;          public bool isrunning         {             { return isrunning; }         }          public luaconsole()         {             this.lua = lua;         }          public void run()         {             int = 0;             while(isrunning)             {                 outputbuffer.add("> ");                  input = console.readline();                 outputbuffer.add("");                  try                 {                     lua.dostring(input);                 }                 catch(exception e)                 {                     outputbuffer.add(e.message);                 }                                 {                     outputbuffer.add("");                 }             }         }     } }

basically, i'm confused why lua.dostring(input); should work opposed having use console.writeline(lua.dostring(input));. i've tried outputbuffer.add(lua.dostring(input).tostring());, which, being tostring valid there, should work in theory. instead performs lua.dostring , throws exception - "object reference not set instance of object". unless i'm mistaken, object in question lua, makes lua valid object reference. anyway, seeing these 2 solutions don't work, wondering if knows enough luainterface suggest alternative way same result. want effect of outputbuffer.add(lua.dostring(input));. way, lua command i've been using test print("test") - maybe print somehow returning console line instead of string, can't think of way return string lua.

i apologize if problem rambling or poorly explained - tried concise possible, it's kind of niche issue , don't know how else explain it, really. oh, , did try google, , browsed 65 or luainterface questions on stack overflow, i'm 95% sure i've done due diligence before asking question. luainterface not well-known of tool, guess.

object reference not set instance of object c#'s way of saying "something null , shouldn't be."

in case, dostring returning null, null.tostring() raising exception. try outputbuffer.add(convert.tostring(lua.dostring(input)[0])) if want convert string without throwing on nulls.

i haven't used either luainterface or nlua, i'd guess return string you'd have execute return "test" lua command.

Issues changing the value of an element in an array in matlab -

i'm trying create program sum n-1 , n-2 numbers create n , store value in array. currently, output (assuming numdisp > 2 ) num1 , num2 , 0 , 0 , 0 ... size of array correct, i'm having issues reassigning elements. num1 = input('input first integer of fibonacci sequence: '); num2 = input('input second integer of fibonacci sequence: '); numsdisp = input('how many integers display? --> '); list = zeros(numsdisp,1); list(1) = num1; list(2) = num2; if (numsdisp <=0) disp('value must integer greater zero.') elseif (numsdisp == 1) disp(num1) elseif (numsdisp == 2) disp(num1) disp(num2) else disp(num1) disp(num2) index = 3:numsdisp disp(list(index)) list(index) = list((index-1)) + list((index-2)); end end example input: 3 3 4 corresponding output: 3 3 0 0 you aren't printing out final result, intermediate steps. in for loop, printing list(index) updating value, rather updat...

php - MySQLi binding parameters in a prepared statement doesn't work unless inserted after "WHERE" -

i have php code pulls info database. uses prepared statement, works fine written below: <?php $n = '5'; if ($stmt = $connection->prepare("select title items id = ?")) { $stmt->bind_param("s", $n); $stmt->execute(); $stmt->bind_result($title); while ($stmt->fetch()) { echo $title; } $stmt->close(); } ?> and let's echo "batman". however, when move placeholder here: "select ? items id = 5" and change: $n = 'title'; instead of echoing "batman", echoes "title". not possible use placeholder select parameter? what have done this: select "title" items id = 5 you cant use prepared statement bindings identifiers, parameters.
