Last year(Hacktoberfest2022) i worked for Lua language for codethesaur.us so i have already familiar with this project.

Please add 'hacktoberfest-accepted' label if you are satisfied with PR.

Hey, thanks for adding this!

First, can you leave a comment on #580 to claim it as yours? (You checked it on the PR but you didn't actually do it.) Sometimes multiple people try to work on an issue together and it sucks that someone doesn't know someone else is working on it.

Second, the whole project is opted in to Hacktoberfest, no label needed on the PR.

Third, multiple things like signed and unsigned 8-bit integers are "Undefined" because you didn't specify if they do or don't exist in the language. You should fill those in and if the language doesn't have them, mark them as "not-implemented". (See the documentation on why.) You can use the python manage.py generate_template command to generate a full template to fill in the gaps you're missing.

Missing concepts leaving "unknown" answers on the pages.

[ayaan-qadri]

First of all sorry for not commenting on issue and checked it.

Second if this project opted into hacktoberfest still PR/MERGE need label look:

-

third, i have done "not-implement":true still it shows unknown… idk why?

[geekygirlsarah]

#692 isn't accepted because I haven't merged it in yet. When I do merge it, it should go into waiting and then be approved after 7 days. (This works for everyone so far, including me.)

https://github.com/thecuriousteam/pyliblog should automatically work because hacktoberfest is tagged on the project. (The other hacktoberfest tags don't matter. I add things like hacktoberfest2023 in case people search for them.) So

For the not-implemented part, some of the fields say "Not implemented in this langauge." Those are right. The fields that aren't are "unknown" because the fields are missing. Those are the fields that need to be added in.

Ex: signed 8-bit integers are "unknown" because

    "signed_integer_8_bit": {
      "name": "Signed 8-bit integer",
      "code": [
        ""
      ]
    },

is missing.

Okayy, I'll correct it soon.

btw @geekygirlsarah, this same thing is also happening in Python's data types.

[geekygirlsarah]

Thanks for adding the other fields back in. I'll approve and merge! Happy Hacktoberfest!

btw @geekygirlsarah, this same thing is also happening in Python's data types.

Yes, Python, C++, and Java data types were the first 3 things added to CT back in 2017 or so. The data types concept has evolved since then and no one's gone back to update them. There's a few other holes in thesauruses and just merged in a feature to point out they could be contributed to.

I see, I'm planning to close all issue related to Lua then i would like resolve it.
