Okay, so what I want to do is to use a string as input (for instance "16*12+25"), convert it to a mathematical evaluation that the computer can comprehend and return the evaluated value. I could probably write this myself, but it would most likely take quite a while and in the end, it still wouldn't end up as good as I'd like it to unless I want to put even more time into it.
So my question is, is there any script, library or api that you know can do this for C++? I have found some for both java, python and .NET. But I am not working with any of these languages and I would like to remain within C++ for as long (hopefully throughout the entire project) as possible. Do you have any good ideas or links?
