Multiline function tables in lua

Question

I cannot seem to find any other online help about creating a table which contains functions which are multiline. For example, here is a snippit of code from the lua wiki.

action = {
  [1] = function (x) print(1) end,
  [2] = function (x) z = 5 end,
  ["nop"] = function (x) print(math.random()) end,
  ["my name"] = function (x) print("fred") end,
}

I want to do something like this:

action = {
[1] = function blah()
more code here
end

[2] = function blahblah()
more code here
end

}

So how can I do so?

Answer 1

action = {
  [1] = function (x)
    print(1)
  end,

  [2] = function (x)
    z = 5
  end,

  ["nop"] = function (x)
    print(math.random())
  end,

  ["my name"] = function (x)
    print("fred")
  end,
}

You are free to do that.
