gollark: So readLength instead if you want to remain consistent with that.
gollark: Well, Lua doesn't actually *have* a convention for that, though CC does camelCase I guess.
gollark: ```luafunction read_length() while true do term.clear() term.setCursorPos(1, 1) print("Enter Length:") local length = read() if length > 0 and tonumber(length) then return tonumber(length) else print("Length is not a Number!") end endendlocal length = read_length()```
gollark: Make that function return `length` and do `local length = whatever()`.
gollark: Just don't do that.
