I'm currently working on problem set one, and I've run into an issue: I'm trying to divide a variable (the value of which is determined through external input) by an integer, and the simple statement "[Var2] = [Var]/[Int]" doesn't work, as the interpreter considers [Var] to be a string, rather than a floating point (which it should be, due to the nature of the input).

Am I just doing something wrong, and/or is there a way around this?
