Re^2: Debug basic calculator syntax

Ah...but the second run after changing '=' to '==' will give this error: 'Argument "foo" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==) at line <script name> <line number>'. It's the old theory of debugging; fix exactly one error at a time, because each error that you fix could be either creating or masking other errors.
