deviding variabless

how do you devide 2 variables,

for example (this did NOT work :-))

c=50
p=2
c/p = m
print(m)

my intention was that m == 25 but it just sayd

bios:339: [string "devide"]:4: '=' expected

(my program is called devide)

Assignment operations must always go the correct direction. You tell Lua what to put the result in, then tell it the value to put in it. Change your division operation to be assigned to m instead and it should work:

m = c/p
