To do calculations in a chatbot you should write the equation within curly brackets **\{\{your equation}}**


You can use:

Addition \{\{#question1+#question2}}

Subtraction \{\{#question1-#question2}}

Multiplications \{\{#question1\*#question2}}

Divisions \{\{#question1/#question2}}



Example:

\{\{#question1+#question2}}
