Use string as mathematical expression in C

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I want to know if there is any way to get a expression as string and evaluate it as mathematical expression?

#include 
#include  

void main {
 char expression[100];
 int answer;
 scanf("%s", &expression);
 // Let expression = "10+5"
 answer = expression
 printf("%d", answer);
 // Print 15
 getch();
}

Is there any libary or built-in function which can help me accomplish this task? I am using Turbo C++ 3.0.

P.S: I can't use modern compiler because it is included in our syllabus.
