LOL it happens I guess; I'm close to that many years removed from having to deal with most of this stuff myself.
Anyhow, I don't think I described my predicament as clearly as I should have. My focus is less on having the computer do the math (although it has to in order to check the answer given), and more on not presenting an unnecessarily difficult problem to the kiddo. Here's the general idea. 1) GOSUB to send back two random integers, A and B 2) Print 'What is A divided by B?' 3) Input quotient (C) 4) Input remainder (D) 5) GOSUB to check the answers - correct if C = A\B and D=(A mod B) What I'm trying to figure out is where to insert the test between steps 1 and 2 to make sure that the program doesn't spit out "What is 5 divided by 12" or "What is 8 divided by 0".
