hello, I am writing a variable equation solver. Now to get it to work, i just need your calculator to be able to detect random strings instead of numbers. and when it does, i need to assign a random number to that string and have the calculator solve the problem again with that new number. I am also wondering how to get your calculator to detect ( and ) so it can solve problems like (1+1)*(1+1). thanks

have a look at the boost Spirit library, there is an example where they do exactly that. basically you create a tree where operators are nodes and expressions subtrees with literals as leaves. It's a parse job of a Dyck-language basically (more or less).

Can't find the exact location now, but it's one of the examples.

here, i finished a normal calculator that can handle paranthesis, order of operations, and unlimited operators.
