algebraic expression 'a*b+c' with CIN .Is it possible?

algebraic expression 'a*b+c' with CIN .Is it possible?

How to transfer the algebraic expression 'a*b+c' to the variable s
(all double) with cout in a "Console Application" ?

cout<<"Input a,b,c and expression in a,b,c "<<endl;
cin>>a;
cin>>b;
cin>>c;

cin>???!!!! and here !!!???. If I do cin>>(a*b*c) it's wrong !!!!
cout<<"This is a*b+c \n"<< s <<endl;

How to do it ?

Thanks

Read a string using 'std::getline'. If you need to calculate the
result of that expression, you'll need to implement an expression
parser. See chapter 6 of TC++PL.

Is there something already prepared ?
Chapter 6 is very very crypticccccsss!!!!.....for me..

Yes, the code is in there, but if you really want to use it you really
should take the time to understand it also.

Maybe you should start learing C++ before you do the hard stuff?

Let me guess: What you want is for the program to parse and interpret
a user-inputted mathematical expression such as for example "a*b+c" (or
any other expression thereof) for given value of the variables?

There's no language feature in C++ itself which would allow this.
C++ is a compiled language, it's not an interpreted scripting language.
What you want to do is easy to do in scripted languages because the
script interpreter is basically parsing and interpreting the input
source code all the time. Thus it's trivial to construct an expression
(eg. by asking the user for it) and make the interpreter parse and
interpret it. However, C++ is not an interpreted language and thus this
kind of thing is not possible directly.

If you want to be able to parse and interpret mathematical expressions
entered by the user you need a parsing/interpreting library for that.
Here's one example of such library: http://iki.fi/warp/FunctionParser/

ok but I don't understand why there isn't a library for this (for ex
in STD). I intend say: ask for algebraic input( mathematical
expressions ex. function) isn't common ?
In a scientific program I believe that this ownership is obligatory,
if there is not this tool as it can make the consumer to interact
with the program and to introduce a mathematical function whose
structure cannot be anticipated in phase of compilation?

I have to now develop small forms to personal use but it is probable
that in the future can use them for a greater project and therefore
before wasting time I would like to know if this your parser is
possible to also purchase commercial license and how much coast

I apologize you for my bad English

If that's a requirement, and the entier system is written in C++,
then _usually_ folks /embed/ an interpreter from some other, well
known or popular language, like Python, or Basic, or Perl. Most
of them are /embeddable/. But please don't ask us where to find
such an interpreter or how to embed it. Such activity is beyond
the subject matter of this newsgroup.

doesn't this group speak of c++? have not I perhaps said since the
beginning that I am a beginner? I have told him.
but it is not able not answer in this group ?. To use some faculty not
to answer is a right. Use it
And however if I have disturbed I ask excuse everybody

Yes, it does. You need to separate the language itself with its
applications, though. Example: there is this newsgroup, called
'alt.usage.english' where I can learn how to use English, but they
will not tell me how to write a good business proposal in English.
Writing good business proposals is not necessarily the topic of
'alt.usage.english'.

Same here. If you have a language problem, we're happy to help
you with it. However, we will not tell you how to develop some
algorithm using C++. That's beyond this newsgroup's topic.

beginning that I am a beginner?

Being a beginner is not an excuse.

I have told him.
but it is not able not answer in this group ?.

We are not able to tell you what you need to do to use a Python
interpreter in a C++ program. It's a topic for a Python forum.

To use some faculty not
to answer is a right.

I am not sure I understand that statement.

Use it
And however if I have disturbed I ask excuse everybody

You have not disturbed anybody, I hope. And from what I can see,
you have received at least some advice you should be able to use.
