String Calculator

A robust JavaScript library for evaluating arithmetic expressions represented as strings. This library provides a simple and efficient way to parse and calculate mathematical expressions with support for basic arithmetic operations.

Features

• Evaluate arithmetic expressions from strings
• Support for basic arithmetic operations:
  • Addition (+)
  • Subtraction (-)
  • Multiplication (*)
  • Division (/)
  • Parentheses for grouping ()
• Simple and intuitive API
• Lightweight and dependency-free

Installation

npm install @codingdestro/str-calc

Quick Start

const stringCalc = require("@codingdestro/str-calc");

// Basic arithmetic
console.log(stringCalc("100-10/2*0+5")); // Output: 105
console.log(stringCalc("10+20-5"));      // Output: 25
console.log(stringCalc("50*2/5"));       // Output: 20

// With parentheses
console.log(stringCalc("100/(2*3)"));    // Output: 20

API Reference

stringCalc(expression: string): number

Evaluates a mathematical expression represented as a string.

Parameters

• expression (string): The arithmetic expression to evaluate

Returns

• (number): The calculated result

Examples

// Basic operations
stringCalc("5 + 3")     // Returns: 8
stringCalc("10 - 4")    // Returns: 6
stringCalc("6 * 2")     // Returns: 12
stringCalc("15 / 3")    // Returns: 5

// Complex expressions
stringCalc("100-10/2*0+5")  // Returns: 105
stringCalc("(10+5)*2")      // Returns: 30
