Try this out:

local operations = {"/", "*", "-", "+"}
local rand = operations[math.random(1, #operations)]

warn(rand) -- returns a random math operator (/, *, etc.)

Try this:

local function randMath(a, b)
	local op = math.random(1, 4)
	if op == 1 then
		return a + b
	elseif op == 2 then
		return a - b
	elseif op == 3 then
		return a * b
	else
		return a / b
	end
end

If you want to get a standalone random math operator, use my solution. Otherwise if you want to do an equation between two numbers and a random math operator, use @Maelstorm_1973’s solution.

Ok so basically what I was asking was whether I could use a variable value to multiply two numbers together like 2 [variable] 3?

In that case, you can use @Maelstorm_1973’s solution.
