Bummer: (eval):1: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting end-of-input 25 * 3 = 75 ^
25 * 3 = 75
product = 75
7 \ 4.0 = 1.75
qoutient = 1.75

The =-operator is used to assign a value to a variable. Like so:
count = 75 # stores the number 75 in a variable named count
The ==-operator is used for comparison. Like so:
25 * 3 == 75 # true
You cannot use = for comparison of two values.
25 * 3 = 75 # invalid, you are trying to assign 75 to the expression 25 * 3.
25 * 3 == 75 # valid, you are comparing 25 * 3 with 75. Which are equal
