title: Can I check strings equality in lua?
body: <p>Just a straight forward beginner question, I am coding Lua stuff for Garrys Mod, learning by reading wiki and other codings.</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (self.Owner:SteamID( ) == "STEAM_0:1:44037488" ) then
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the above is the code I want to use, to check to see if the STEAM ID (which I believe is a string) is equal to my exact string.</p>
  
  <p>Is this viable? Or is there another way I should do it?</p>
