auto centering: need help

as the name implies I need help with auto centering text on a screen. I remember seeing something like this in a different program that used the math api but I cant figure out how to do the same!

any and all help appreciated!

To center text horizontally, simply subtract the width of the text from the width of the terminal and divide the result by two.

To center vertically, subtract the height of the text from the height of the terminal and divide by two.

You can use math.floor() or math.ceil() to round down or up to the nearest whole number.

well thank you! that was quick!
