Decimal point showing error in Lua
I'm using ESPlorer for programming ESP8266.
a = 7.5
print(a)
This lua code shows error "malformed number near '7.5' ". Do I need to add any library or file?

Which exact firmware (file) did you flash to the ESP?
I expect you might have used the 'INTEGER' version, which doesn't support floating point arithmetics, use the 'float' firmware version instead.
