title: SET Command - Floating point numbers?
body: <p>How do I use the SET command in windows for floating point arithmatic. /A stands for arithmetic and %VAR% prints the data of VAR not the name.</p>
  
  <p>For example when I do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SET /A VAR="2.5+3.1"
  ECHO %VAR%
  pause
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the error: 'Missing Operator'.
  The output (5.6) should be converted to floating point too</p>
  
  <p>I'm still busy learning the basic syntax.</p>
