Mentioning of the error() keyword #496

Closed RitchieFlick closed 6 days ago

I just worked through the triangles practice problem, while working through Lua Concepts boolean: https://exercism.org/tracks/lua/exercises/triangle

This exercise necessitates the use of the error() keyword, something which wasn't mentioned before. I personally suggest adding a hint for this, as newer programers might not even be aware that something like this could exist if they come from a language where errors are values.
