Problem Statement |
| You must write a class Calculate, with a method calc, which takes a String
expression, where expression is a mathematical expression. You should
calculate the value of the expression, using the standard order of operations:
- Always evaluate expressions in parentheses first.
- Exponentiation next.
- Multiplication and division next.
- Addition and subtraction last.
Operators with the same precedence should be evaluated from left to right. So 2^3^2 = (2^3)^2 = 64, and 3-2+1 = (3-2)+1 = 2
Thus, if expression = "1+2*3^(1+1)-2", we first calculate (1+1), and get
"1+2*3^2-2". Next we apply exponentiation and get "1+2*9-2". Then
multiplication and division gives us "1+18-2". Last, addition and subtraction,
left to right, gives 17.
Furthermore, you will be given a String[] variables each of whose elements represents a variable which may be used in expression. Each element of variables will be formatted as "<variable> <value>", where <variable> is a sequence of 1 or more letters ('a'-'z' and 'A'-'Z'), and <value> is an integer. For example, if variables = {"x 1", "y 11"}, and expression = "x*y+3*x", we substitute the values for the variables to get 1*11+3*1 = 14.
The expression will conform to the following grammar:
- <expression> ::= (<expression>) | <expression><op><expression> | <val>
- <op>::= '+'|'-'|'/'|'*'|'^'
- <val>::= a sequence of 1 or more digits or a <variable> from variables

Notes |
- | All of the intermediate and final results of both division and exponentiation will be integers between -2^31 and 2^31 - 1, inclusive. (see constraints) |
- | Variable names are case sensitive. |
|
Constraints |
- | expression will include only the characters '0' to '9', '+', '-', '*', '/', '^', '(', and ')' and letters ('a'-'z' and 'A'-'Z'). |
- | expression will be well-formed, conforming to the grammar in the problem statement. |
- | The final result, and all intermediate results will be integers in the range -2^31 to 2^31-1, inclusive. This includes all numbers and variables, so "0*10000000000" is not allowed, nor is "0*a", {"a 10000000000"}. |
- | expression will not result in division by 0 or 0^x, for x less than or equal to 0. |
- | variables will have between 0 and 50 elements, inclusive. |
- | Each element of variables will be formatted as "<variable> <value>", where <variable> is a sequence of 1 or more letters ('a'-'z' and 'A'-'Z'), and <value> is an integer between -2^32 and 2^32-1, inclusive (possibly with leading zeros). |
- | No two elements of variables will have the same <variable>. |
- | Each variable in expression will be found in variables. |
- | expression will contain between 1 and 50 characters, inclusive. |
- | Each element of variables will contain between 3 and 50 characters, inclusive. |
