< tt > /< / tt > , < tt > :< / tt > , < tt > \< / tt > are all interpreted as division operators,< br / >
< tt > *< / tt > , < tt > x< / tt > are valid symbols for multiplication.< br / >
Also, be aware that < tt > .< / tt > and < tt > ,< / tt > are both considered floating points, which means you mustn't use them as 1000 separators.< / p > < / li >
