How to make a String an Int [solved]

[MaxLindquist]

Hi! My problem is that im trying to make an Int out of the string a=X+Y*Z-A/B... (for example 1-2+6-3*2/3-3). when i do Int(a) it doesn't work beacuse of the (+,-,/,*)

What should i do?

Would something like this work for you?

x,y,z,w = 3.0,12,16,4.5
a='x+y*z-w/x'
print eval(a)
print int(eval(a))

Yes... thank you very much

a='x+y*z-w/x'
print eval(a)
print int(eval(a))

or get the floating point (since they're in the formula) by:

print eval(a)

What if i want the calculation to skip the usual rules, so that x+y*z-a/b is like ((((x+y)*z)-a)/b)?

Use the parens in the string or break it up and eval pieces at a time.
Sounds like you're working on some sort of language parser...
What's the project about? One of my early projects was an assembler for moto micros. Keep posting,
