How can i skip a section of code lua?

Question

It is my first lua project and i have a trouble with skipping part of my code. I want the code to stop after part "Cool". So if i write good and it answers cool i want the rest of the code to stop since after that the next question is not relative anymore.

How it works: Code says: Hello You say: anything Code says: How are you? You say: good after you say good it will say cool. If you say anything other than good it will ask "Why?" e.g. you say: bad Code says: It will be alright I want it to stop after "cool" and skip out the further part of the code.

os.execute(" cls ")
print("Hello")
    odp = io.read()
        if odp == string then
        end
        tof = true or false

print("How are you?")
    odp2 = io.read()
        if odp2 == "good" then print("Cool") tof = true
            else print("Why?") tof = false
            if tof == true then os.execute(" pause ")   
        end
            end

    odp3 = io.read()
        if odp3 ~= math then print("It will be alright")
            print("Okay, I have to go see you.")
        end
os.execute(" pause ")

When you compile code, it becomes the body of a function. The prototypical way of exiting a function is with a return statement. A function can have zero or more return statements.

But, since you want to exit the program, you can instead call os.exit().
