Basic Calculator in C++
Suppose we want to create one basic calculator that will find the basic expression result. The expression can hold opening and closing parentheses, plus or minus symbol and empty spaces.
So if the string is like “5 + 2 - 3”, then the result will be 7
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
ret := 0, sign := 1, num := 0, n := size of s
Define one stack st
for initializing i := 0, when i < n, increase i by 1 do −
Define an array x = s of size i
if x >= '0' and x <= '9', then,
num = num * 10
num = num + (x - '0')
Otherwise when x is same as '(', then −
ret = ret + (sign * num)
insert ret into st
insert sign into st
ret := 0, sign := 1, num := 0
Otherwise when x is same as ')', then −
ret = ret + (sign * num), sign := 1, num := 0
ret = ret * top element of st
delete item from st
ret = ret + top element of st
delete item from st
Otherwise when x is same as '+', then −
ret = ret + (sign * num), sign := 1, num := 0
Otherwise when x is same as '-', then −
ret = ret + (sign * num), sign := - 1, num := 0
if num is non-zero, then,
ret = ret + sign * num
return ret
Example
Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
#include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; class Solution { public: int calculate(string s) { int ret = 0; int sign = 1; int num = 0; int n = s.size(); stack <int> st; for(int i = 0; i < n; ++i){ char x = s[i]; if(x >= '0' && x <= '9'){ num *= 10; num += (x - '0'); } else if(x == '('){ ret += (sign * num); st.push(ret); st.push(sign); ret = 0; sign = 1; num = 0; } else if(x == ')'){ ret += (sign * num); sign = 1; num = 0; ret *= st.top(); st.pop(); ret += st.top(); st.pop(); } else if(x == '+'){ ret += (sign * num); sign = 1; num = 0; } else if(x == '-'){ ret += (sign * num); sign = -1; num = 0; } } if(num){ ret += sign * num; } return ret; } }; main(){ Solution ob; cout << (ob.calculate("5 + 2 - 3")); }
Input
"5 + 2 - 3"
Output
4
