I am taking a javascript class online with a really awful teacher and really awful course materials.. I swear to loving god she is asking us to do things she hasn't taught us.

I have this really simple problem and I am having a hard time finding the information on how to solve it.

It's basically a form, you enter a number and push a button and it prints the number +5*2-7.

This is the page she gave us:

code:

<html>
  <head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      // add your function definitions here
    </script>
  </head>
  
  <body>
    <form id="mathForm" name="mathForm">
      <p>Enter the number here:&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type="text" id="num" /></p>
<p>
        <input type="button" value="Do the Math" 
        onclick="//get data; call function"
        />
      </p>
      <p>Answer:&nbsp;<input type="text" id="answer" /></p>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

I'm not asking for someone to do my homework for me but maybe point me in the right direction of the information required to do this...I've googled and searched and read. I guess I am mostly confused on how javascript receives and prints out data into forms.
