 Calculator Challenge |
 |
Are we suppose to implement a unary negatate operator "-" or just the binary form?
Edit: and i'm assuming we dont need any error handling? like verifying an ending ')' or such stuff?
Edit2: do we have to handle empty string without error?

oh, it's a friendly challenge! =)
no unary negative.
no negative tests: all input will be well formed and non-empty.

Might make a note on the challenge that multi digit numbers has to be handled

We dont have the ability in hvm language to enter multidigit numbers no... but we still have to be able to support it in the calculator challenge. Example: "10+5" must print out 15 not 5 or 6

Are the strings null-terminated?
Also, I assume numbers stored as the integer representing their character values?
("8+5*(1+2)" would be in memory as 56,43,53,42,40,49,43,50,41,0)

What you wrote is exactly how it is represented.

oh do we? so may I assume that the representation of 10+5 is "49,48,43,53"?

yep thats how its represented in memory. As lechat noted too, a null (zero) terminator denotes the end of the string.

Do we have to expect nested parentheses like (3-(7+6))*5 ?

I entered as solution
 |
|
0<p
|
and got
|
|
Expected: '2', got: '49' for input '10/(2+3)'
Expected: '145', got: '49' for input '1*27+(23-26+18-6)*10+(13+15)'
Expected: '-368', got: '49' for input '16*3-22+8*12-27*18-4'
Expected: '470', got: '40' for input '(7+15+15-20+15+2*(19-16+14)*24-27*14)'
Expected: '-38104', got: '50' for input '22-15*4-5-10*28*17*8+12+1*7'
Expected: '303', got: '49' for input '11-2-8-13+25+2-((11-19)*3)*12'
'0<p' is incorrect.

As you can see nested parentheses occur in some test cases. So, be prepared for them.
