Detailed documentation

export.is_finite_real_number

function export.is_finite_real_number(n)

Returns true if the given value is a finite real number, or false if not.

export.is_integer

function export.is_integer(n)

Returns true if the given value is an integer, or false if not.

export.is_positive_integer

function export.is_positive_integer(n, include_0)

Returns true if the given value is a positive integer (or zero if the include_0 flag is set), or false if not.

export.log10

function export.log10(x)

Returns the base-10 logarithm of x.

Should be used instead of math.log10, which is deprecated and may stop working if Scribunto is updated to a more recent Lua version.

export.to_hex

function export.to_hex(dec)

Converts a decimal number to hexadecimal.

export.gcd

function export.gcd(n, ...)

Returns the greatest common divisor.

export.lcm

function export.lcm(n, ...)

Returns the least common multiple.
