Help with Simple Integer Expression

[wazzup]

My task is Create a program to read a simple integer expression and display the result. "Simple" means no parentheses are allowed and only the +, -, *, and / operators are allowed.

I think expression would be Multiplications , then Division, then Addition and Subtraction.

My program gave me a wrong result after addition, take a look to my code you will understand. Please help me to develop this.

Here is my Code

Having looked at your code, I'm a little confused as to what you are trying to achieve....perh aps if you attached the output it is givving we might be able to work out what's going on

Ok, First, This is my input as a string 12+34-34+11*4*11/11
Then, convert them to integer and calc them.

My program gave me result is -32
But Correct must be 56

My algorithm is get the string input then create an Array and put them into the Array. For ex input above: 12 is the first element and + is second elements of the array ...etc

Then I check the the Array if there is * then get the element before that time with elements after that. For ex input above: 11*4 . Then, get the result replace to position of * in array. Keep doing like that until no more *. Same thing with /, + and -

This is my output of the program:

Original Input is 12 + 34 - 34 + 11 * 4 * 11 / 1
Input after trimmed is 12+34-34+11*4*11/11
Number elements of Array is 13
Original Values of Elements of the Array
A[0] = 12
A[1] = +
A[2] = 34
A[3] = -
A[4] = 34
A[5] = +
A[6] = 11
A[7] = *
A[8] = 4
A[9] = *
A[10] = 11
A[11] = /
A[12] = 11

Begin Calculate ...............

Expression: 11 * 4 = 44
Expression: 44 * 11 = 484

Values of Elements after Multiplications.
A[0] = 12
A[1] = +
A[2] = 34
A[3] = -
A[4] = 34
A[5] = +
A[6] =
A[7] =
A[8] =
A[9] = 484
A[10] =
A[11] = /
A[12] = 11

Expression: 484 / 11 = 44

Values of Elements after Divisions.
A[0] = 12
A[1] = +
A[2] = 34
A[3] = -
A[4] = 34
A[5] = +
A[6] =
A[7] =
A[8] =
A[9] =
A[10] =
A[11] = 44
A[12] =

Expression: 12 + 34 = 46
Expression: 34 + 44 = 78

Values of Elements after Additions.
A[0] =
A[1] = 46
A[2] =
A[3] = -
A[4] =
A[5] = 78
A[6] =
A[7] =
A[8] =
A[9] =
A[10] =
A[11] =
A[12] =

Expression: 46 - 78 = -32

Final Answer is -32
Correct answer is: 56

I got it! Computer does the * and / first (left to right) then do the + and - (left to right). Thanks for the help!

That was easy....
