This is a small question related to the answer given here, https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/201742/17858 which computes the factorial of a number in an external lua file.
documentclass{article}
%directlua{dofile("luatest.lua")}
directlua{require("luatest.lua")}
newcommand*{myluafact}[1]{%
directlua{tex.write(fact(#1))}%
}
begin{document}
test myluafact{5}
end{document}
The code for computing factorial is in luatest.lua again copied from the same link above
function fact (n)
if n == 0 then
return 1
else
return n * fact(n-1)
end
end
The results from using dofile and require are identical on my machine for this particular example.
Is there any technical difference between loading external lua files with require or dofile in general?
