# Convenient whitespace removal

Here are instances where you can remove whitespace:

## Strings

If you assigned or [printed](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/283777/284002#answer-284002) a string, then the next supposed line of code can lean on the right double-quote:

<!-- language-all: lang-lua -->

    --[[
    name = "Mark"
    print(name)
    ]]
    name="Mark"print(name)

Commented code works the same.

## Functions

Similar to strings, you can let the next line of code lean onto the right parentheses:

<!-- language-all: lang-lua -->

    name="Mark"
    print("Hello!")print(name)print("Have fun!")
