        return
    end
    
    if not key then

        print('Usage: please provide a list of integers ("1, 4, 5, 11, 12") and the integer to find ("11")')

    if #nums_str < 1 then
          print('Usage: please provide a list of integers ("1, 4, 5, 11, 12") and the integer to find ("11")')
        return
    end

for num in string.gmatch(nums_str, '([^,]+)') do
    table.insert(numbers, tonumber(num))
end
