what time is it

To retrieve the current time using Lua, you can use the following steps:

Step 1: Import the os library to access the system time. Step 2: Use the os.date function to format the current time. Step 3: Specify the time format as the argument to the os.date function, for example, "%H:%M:%S" for the hour, minute, and second. Step 4: Store the formatted time in a variable for further use.

These steps will allow you to retrieve and format the current time using Lua.
