Help on parsing Mathematical expression

[HACKER]

Hi,
  Any suggestions on parsing a mathematical expression ??

For example
  
  (3 + 5) * 4

  7 + 3

  5 * 9 + (2 + 3 * (2 + 8))


Thanks

Try "man yacc" on a UNIX machine near you.  You might also want to
take a course in compiler construction.

Greg:

Do not be taken in by this. As a graduate from the world renowned
Department of Computer Sience at Western Michingan University,
(note the "@wmich.edu") let me asure you that this is a rather
common assignment in the "compiler theory" class.

Tell me "HACKER" - Is Dr. Kerstetter still teaching this course?

Pax,
Marin
