How do I fix Error Syntax error: main.lua:5: unexpected symbol near '20' on love

might be a dumb beginner question but When I run my code:

function love.draw()
    love.graphics.print("Hello World", 400, 300)
end
function love.load()
20, 20, 60, 20
end

it give me the error message:Error

Syntax error: main.lua:5: unexpected symbol near '20'

Traceback

[love "callbacks.lua"]:228: in function 'handler'

[C]: at 0x7fff3e0d31d0

[C]: in function 'require'

[C]: in function 'xpcall'

[C]: in function 'xpcall'

I just wanna add values

Solution

  • Line 5 contains a syntax error, like the error says.

    If your intent was to return a list from the love.load function, you need something like:

    function love.load()
  return {20, 20, 60, 20}
end
