In Lua, you have the os.date and os.time functions at your disposal to help with date and time calculations.
os.date
os.time
Lua doesn’t have built-in date comparison functions, but we can use the os.time() function to convert dates to a numerical format (epoch time) and then compare them.
os.time()
In Lua, we use os.date to format dates into strings.
Lua provides the os.date function to get the current date and time.
Lua does not have built-in support for date and time manipulation beyond the limited functionality provided by the os.date and os.time functions.
