Print the alphabet without using any vowels in your script. Shortest script wins.
Print 2015 without using any numbers in your script.
Count to 100 without an explicit loop (No repeats, fors or whiles). Again, shortest script wins.

Last one isn't really a challenge but whatever.
Anything that compliles to Lua uses the compiled result.

for i=1, 500 do
print(string.char(i))
end

print("2015")

local count = 0
local recursive = function()
count = count + 1
if(count < 100)then
recursive()
end
end

year = a[c/c] .."".. a[c - ((c/c) + (c/c))] .."".. a[c-(c/c)] .."".. a[c]

#1 I would just go with a print("\65\66\etc") but I feel it's cheating idk
#2 I think this challenge was already completed (or with 2014), I'll see if I can find the thread
#3 shortest, so who cares about efficiency :)
function _(a)print(a)_(a+1)end _(1)
I'm sure there are shorter ways, but I need to start somewhere

Your first script used vowels.
Your second script used numbers (I wasn't talking about the dataType)
I didn't look at your third script because your first 2 were wrong.

Oh you meant like no vowels at all :) I thought just as part of the string or something :)

Specify the second one.
I forgot about the vowels nor did I care when writing it.

A=loadstring'print(...)A(...+1)'1

Can you call it at the end like that? Or do I have to do (1)
Lua problems.

On second thought that's stupid I'd have to do A(1) instead of just 1

'Print the alphabet without using any vowels in your script. Shortest script wins.'
I'm going to get this!: (you didn't say it has to be Rbx.Lua)
_G["pr\105nt"]("\65\66\67\68\69\70\71\72\73\74\75\76\78\79\80\81\82\83\84\85\86\87\88\89\90");

_G["pr\105nt"]"\97bcd\101fgh\105jklmn\111pqrst\117vwxyz"


Or if y doesn't count
_G["pr\105nt"]"\97bcd\101fgh\105jklmn\111pqrstyvwxyz"

Actually the first one should be
_G["pr\105nt"]"th\101 \97lph\97b\101t"

Because you said without using them in the script, not 'print the alphabet without any vowels'

Lua's lack of treating characters as bytes makes me angry.
All the tricks I could do in C don't work :(

function r(l)
return (l>1) and print(r(l-1)) or l
end
r(101)

4 lines.

There's the last 1 tho.
