- Subject: Algorithm to solve simple algebraric equations
- Lines: 19
-
- I'm working on developing a windows program and I need to write
- a routine that will solve simple algebraric equations. I'm hoping someone
- out here has already done this, or maybe seen an algorithm in some
- publication somewhere.
-
- The routine only needs to solve simple equations involving + - * / and
- parenthesis. For example:
-
- 100 - (( 75 / 100) + (78 / 100) * .25)
-
- I'm sure this exercise has been programmed a zillion times, so I
- thought that before I wasted too much time donig it again I would tap
- the vast knowledge base here.
-
- (I know its not necessarily a Windows question, but this forum is
- where all the brilliant people converse, right?)
