Thread: hmm, easy problem from by book.

The problem can be broken into two parts.
1) translating the line
2) returning the boolean value of the statement

I suggest you tackle part 1 first. This is rather straight forward. Parentheses and numbers do not get translated. So really, all you have to watch is the ==, !=, etc.
You can do this by just scanning characters and printing them out as you go.

Part 2 is a bit trickier. I suggest you do some research about precedence of operators, stacks, and recursion.

Yup. After you get that part, then you can try cases such as:

(11 == 11) || (0 > 2)
(11==11)||(0 >2)
( 11 == 11)||(0 > 2)
etc...

one quick little note about english about a and an. a is used when the next words first letter is a constanant (sp??) and an is used when a vowel shows up....not really important, but i didn't know untill 10th grade.... (i saw someone use it wrong on this thread)...

to programming though.
there is one command in the string.h library. It's called

Code:

strstr(char *s1, char *s2)
s1 = string to look at
s2 = string to look for in s1

it will find the first instance of a string say >, <, == etc. this will just help you to determain if your done looking at the string. Or one thing that you could do is go through char by char and see if it's one of the operators. If it is then determain which one and change it to the appropriate sign. Show us what you got.

Along with strstr as mentioned by immeraufdemhund, this *might* be handy at some point.

char *cptr;
int found;

cptr = strstr(stringVAR, "hunted for in stringVAR");
found = cptr - stringVAR + 1;
