    Calculator

    Hi Im really new at C programming so I came to ask.

    Ive just created a calculator but it can only do equations like x+y, x^y and the like.

    What I want is it to do more than one operation.

    like x+y*z/a...

    What can I do about it?

    Go to Wikipedia, and read up on Reverse Polish Notation and/or infix notation. It's best if you work through your algorithm on paper or with your hands sans computer, before you try to code it up.
