Examples

local function DummyFunction()
    local DummyString = "foo bar"
    string.split(DummyString, " ")
end

local Result = debug.getconstant(DummyFunction, 2)
print(Result) -- Output: string

-- Optimization Level: 1, Debug Level: 1

local function DummyFunction()
    local DummyString = "foo bar"
    string.split(DummyString, " ")
end

local Result = debug.getconstant(DummyFunction, 3)
print(Result) -- Output: nil

-- Optimization Level: 1, Debug Level: 1

print(debug.getconstant(print)) -- Should error due to being a C closure
