Love2D: Stop the player from moving, when I press up or down

Question

This is how my player moves:

if love.keyboard.isDown("right") then
    player.x = player.x + player.speed * dt
end

if love.keyboard.isDown("left") then
    player.x = player.x - player.speed * dt
end

I want to make it, so when the up or down button is pressed down, stop the player from moving.

You can wrap those if statements in another, using the not and and keyword:

if not love.keyboard.isDown("up") and not love.keyboard.isDown("down") then
   -- Your left/right movement checks here
end
