Hello Internet. So the task is to create our own parser for a expression calculator. For Example:
Input: 3+2*1-6/3
Output: 3
Input: 3++2
Output: Invalid Expression
Input: -5+2
Output: -3
Input: 5--2
Output: 7
The code Here solves a part of the problem except that it has a fixed input and negative values cannot be solved, And I'm not quite sure yet if it really does solve the expression with operator precedence.
but I already modified it to get an input expression from the user.
and I've been wondering for hours how to implement the solving for negative values. help anyone?
here's the current code
import java.util.*;
public class ExpressionParser
{
// Associativity constants for operators
private static final int LEFT_ASSOC = 0;
private static final int RIGHT_ASSOC = 1;
// Operators
private static final Map<String, int[]> OPERATORS = new HashMap<String, int[]>();
static
{
// Map<"token", []{precendence, associativity}>
OPERATORS.put("+", new int[] { 0, LEFT_ASSOC });
OPERATORS.put("-", new int[] { 0, LEFT_ASSOC });
OPERATORS.put("*", new int[] { 5, LEFT_ASSOC });
OPERATORS.put("/", new int[] { 5, LEFT_ASSOC });
}
// Test if token is an operator
private static boolean isOperator(String token)
{
return OPERATORS.containsKey(token);
}
// Test associativity of operator token
private static boolean isAssociative(String token, int type)
{
if (!isOperator(token))
{
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid token: " + token);
}
if (OPERATORS.get(token)[1] == type) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
// Compare precedence of operators.
private static final int cmpPrecedence(String token1, String token2)
{
if (!isOperator(token1) || !isOperator(token2))
{
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid tokens: " + token1
+ " " + token2);
}
return OPERATORS.get(token1)[0] - OPERATORS.get(token2)[0];
}
