Re: Using overload to parse arithmetic terms

I may be completely mistaken, but IMHO parenthesis aren't things overload can overload - they're at least not mentioned in overload

To get better qualified help you should specify the code you wrote and mention what exactly "didn't work" in which way- your post is almost in the worst form you can ask such a question: state at least what you did, what you expected and what you got.

well i, did that: `use overload '+' => \&add, '-' => \&sub, '' => \&mul;` [download] so, i'm able to build a expression that uses +, - and . Now, i want to be able to detect when the user uses parenthesis as shown above. I know that overload does not support parenthesis, but i hope that somebody has a idea how i can detect those parenthesis.	[reply] [d/l]

Hmm, how do you store the expressions? If you store them as a tree, you already have the information necessary, because you can always generate parenthesis for an <+\|->-Node with to children on the fly - that's what I meant with showing relevant code - do you store the expression as a tree - otherwise this is a useless info on my part g? regards, tomte An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself. -- Albert Camus	[reply] [d/l]
