How does "end" work in lua?

it's used to "close" every block you start.
Just make sure you're matching every "block" you start with exactly one "end"
end:
--end closes "if" blocks
if (something) then
end
--end closes "if-else" blocks
if (something2) then
else
end
--end closes function blocks
local function test()
print("henlo stinky")
end
--end closes for-loops
for val in pairs(sometable) do
endJust make sure you're matching every "block" you start with exactly one "end"
There is no end with the bracket. You might be thinking of the time when you put an entire function in an addHook.
This is a scenario where a bracket might follow an "end". The bracket is part of the function, not the code block itself.
That code is exactly the same as this code. I recommend using the second one, it's much cleaner and doesn't get you tripped up about brackets.

addHook("ThinkFrame", function()
