==Things To Check==

You should attempt to write a complex mathematical expression as a list of CAOS commands.

A particularly good one is this:
<pre>
((5 + 6) * (7 + 4)) / 2 = 60
</pre>

Conventional wisdom would say the answer to this is either 60.5 or 60 remainder 1. The answer in CAOS is that it depends on if you suffix your numbers with .0 at the end — this makes them "floating-point", and thus capable of representing fractional values. "Float-ness" spreads through expressions automatically, but if both sides of a division are integer, then an integer division is performed, and the remainder is lost.

Importantly, your solution should only use the numbers 5, 6, 7, 4, and 2 — you must not simply write <code>[[outv]] 60</code> and call that a solution.
