What is C file?
The C file extension is used for files written in the C programming language. This programming language was developed in 1970s for use in UNIX operating systems with the intent of allowing users to design and build their own programs. It is a procedural, high-level, compiled programming language that is popular for many application areas, such as system programming, embedded applications, operating systems, and graphical user interfaces (GUI).

What is LUA file?
The LUA file extension is the standard file type used by the popular scripting language Lua. Lua is a powerful, fast, and lightweight scripting language that is known for its high-level dynamic programming capabilities. For example, it enables users to write scripts that alter the behavior of applications and can be combined with other languages in order to create complex software and programs.

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from C to LUA?
To successfully convert the C file to LUA, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.C ). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case LUA (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than LUA).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. C to LUA. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting C files to LUA files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension LUA, while before this step we had the C file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new LUA file, or not.
