One step at a time

if checks a condition. When it is true, Luau runs the instructions between then and end. When it is false, Luau skips those instructions. This complete example displays Allowed for level 5.

Your task

Observed-output goal: display "Allowed", in that order. Run the complete example. Then try level 4 in Free experiment: the block is skipped and nothing is printed. Completion checks these outputs and value types only; the example's structure is an experiment, not a required solution.

Expected output

Allowed

Lines must stay in order. Spelling, capitalization and spaces inside a message matter.

What this exercise checks

Actual Output · exact lines and order · extra output forbidden.

Successful execution is required. A compile error, runtime error or execution limit never completes this task.

Whitespace, matching single or double quotes, and different variable names are allowed. Output-only tasks accept any valid Luau solution meeting the displayed result and value types. Construct tasks use the stated straight-line form.
