Inspired by this Rosetta Code article. Introduction Balanced Ternary is a method of representing integers using -1, 0 and 1 in base 3. Decimal 11 = (1 * 32) + (1 * 31) + (−1 * 30) = [1,1,-1] or ...
Lua's not really used much in golfing, so it'd be pretty cool to learn some golfing tricks when making answers using it. What golfing tips are there for Lua?
