doing math in asp? simple simple.....

hello,
I want to do some math in asp and I thought I could use

* to multiply two numbers,(like newNum=3*2)
but I get an error.
anyone know what I should do for this?

thanks

What is the error and is the script server side or client side?

newNum = 3*2

will certainly work

I don't remember what the error was but I got it to work,
thanks
