## Equation

You can use this to perform a calculation on your variable. See the list of examples below.

| Sign                    | Representation                                                   |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| var + 5                 | Adds the value of 5 to your numbered variable.                   |
| var \* 2                | Multiplies the value of your variable by 2.                      |
| var / 2                 | Divides the value of your variable by 2.                         |
| var - 5                 | Subtracts the value of your variable by 5.                       |
| var \* (5+2)            | Multiples the value of your variable by 5+2 (7).                 |
| var + {random\_\[1,10]} | Adds the value to your variable by a random number from 1 to 10. |

In this case, the value of the variable is increasing by 3 plus 6, divided by 6, minus a random number from 1 to 5.

{% hint style="info" %}
Use any combination of numbers and operations to add/subtract/multiply/divide your variable.
