C# calculate from string

Question

I trying to calculate my string but I don't have any idea how to do that.

I want to do something like this:

string input = "2+2+2+2*5^2/2";
Console.WriteLine(Calculate(input));

I tried to use DataTable().Compute() but its dose not support many of operators.

Does this answer your question? Evaluating string "3*(4+2)" yield int 18 adn String math evaluator in .NET? and Arithmetic expression in a string and Convert a string to a mathematical expression programmatically — user12031933

You can use DataTable.Compute for that. this method computes the given expression on the current rows that pass the filter criteria.

string input = "2+2+2+2*5^2/2";
string res = new DataTable().Compute(input, null).ToString();

Console.WriteLine(res);
