Formula Evaluation

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Can any one give suggestion for that

user gives formula that have all arthimatic operators and trignometric also may have

how to evaluate that and how to get the solution

formula is like

( a + b ) * ( c / b ) sin(60) + tan(45) .

in this how to get what operator is first and what operator is next

Thanks

check this thread.

im not sure how much it will help you in scientific calculations

try with input.

2 + ( 3 * 6 ) + SIN(60) + TAN(45)

you can.

SIN( 30 )
TAN( 45 ).

see there is a space between bracket and the number

like

abc = 2 * sin( 30 ).

and you total formula follows the normal mathematical order.

brackets, division, multi, plus, minus etc..

Hi

What Soumyaprakash told is wrong. There are some operator precedence being followed while calculating the expression.

In the expression: ( a + b ) * ( c / b ) sin(60) + tan(45), it executes in the below order

1) c/b

2) (result of step 1) * sin(60)

3) a+b

4) (result of step 3) * (result of(step 2)

5) result of step 4 + tan(45)

raj, what did i say wrong ?

Hi Soumya

I meant that the concept behind calculation is as per mathematical precedence rule.
