Reto

Aquí está el desafío (de mi propia invención, aunque no me sorprendería que haya aparecido anteriormente en otra parte de la web).

Escriba una función que tome un único argumento que sea una representación de cadena de una expresión matemática simple y la evalúe como un valor de coma flotante. Una "expresión simple" puede incluir cualquiera de los siguientes: números decimales positivos o negativos, + , - , * , / , ( , ) . Las expresiones usan notación infija (normal). Los operadores deben evaluarse en el orden en que aparecen, es decir, no como en BODMAS , aunque los corchetes se deben observar correctamente, por supuesto. La función debe devolver el resultado correcto para cualquier posible expresión de esta forma. Sin embargo, la función no tiene que manejar expresiones mal formadas (es decir, aquellas con mala sintaxis).

Ejemplos de expresiones:

1 + 3 / -8 = -0.5 (No BODMAS) 2*3*4*5+99 = 219 4 * (9 - 4) / (2 * 6 - 2) + 8 = 10 1 + ((123 * 3 - 69) / 100) = 4 2.45/8.5*9.27+(5*0.0023) = 2.68...

Reglas

Anticipo alguna forma de "trampa" / astucia aquí, así que ¡por favor, déjenme advertir contra eso! Al hacer trampa, me refiero al uso de la función eval o equivalente en lenguajes dinámicos como JavaScript o PHP, o compilando y ejecutando código sobre la marcha. (Creo que mi especificación de "no BODMAS" sin embargo ha garantizado esto). Aparte de eso, no hay restricciones. Anticipo algunas soluciones Regex aquí, pero sería bueno ver más que eso.

Ahora, estoy interesado principalmente en una solución C # / .NET aquí, pero cualquier otro lenguaje sería perfectamente aceptable también (en particular, F # y Python para los enfoques funcional / mixto). Todavía no he decidido si voy a aceptar la solución más corta o más ingeniosa (al menos para el idioma) como respuesta, pero me gustaría recibir cualquier tipo de solución en cualquier idioma , excepto lo que acabo de prohibir. !

Mi solución

Ahora he publicado mi solución de C # here (403 caracteres). Actualización: ¡ Mi nueva solución ha superado significativamente a la anterior con 294 caracteres , con la ayuda de un poco de encantadora expresión regular! Sospecho que esto será fácilmente superado por algunos de los idiomas que existen con una sintaxis más ligera (especialmente los funcionales / dinámicos), y se ha demostrado que son correctos, pero me gustaría saber si alguien podría vencer esto en C #.

Actualizar

Ya he visto algunas soluciones muy astutas. Gracias a todos los que han publicado uno. Aunque aún no he probado ninguno de ellos, voy a confiar en las personas y asumir que al menos trabajan con todos los ejemplos dados.

Solo por la nota, la reentrada (es decir, la seguridad del hilo) no es un requisito para la función, aunque es una bonificación.

Rubí

Number of characters: 170

Obfuscated:

def s(x) while x.sub!(//(([^/(/)]*?)/)/){s($1)} x.gsub!(''--'','''') end while x.sub!(/(-?[/d.]+)[ ]*([+/-*//])[ ]*(-?[/d.]+)/){$1.to_f.send($2,$3.to_f)} end x.strip.to_f end

Readable:

def s(x) while x.sub!(//(([^/(/)]*?)/)/){s($1)} x.gsub!(''--'','''') end while x.sub!(/(-?[/d.]+)[ ]*([+/-*//])[ ]*(-?[/d.]+)/){$1.to_f.send($2,$3.to_f)} end x.strip.to_f end [ [''1 + 3 / -8'', -0.5], [''2*3*4*5+99'', 219], [''4 * (9 - 4) / (2 * 6 - 2) + 8'', 10], [''1 + ((123 * 3 - 69) / 100)'', 4], [''2.45/8.5*9.27+(5*0.0023)'',2.68344117647059], [''(3+7) - (5+2)'', 3] ].each do |pair| a,b = s(String.new(pair[0])),pair[1] print pair[0].ljust(25), '' = '', b, '' ('', a==b, '')'' puts end

There is no real obfuscation to this one, which I decided to post fresh since it''s wildly different from my first. I should have seen this from the start. The process is a very simple process of elimination: find and resolve the highest pair of parenthesis (the most nested) into a number until no more are found, then resolve all the existing numbers and operations into the result. And, while resolving parenthetical statements I have it strip all double-dashes (Float.to_f doesn''t know what to do with them).

So, it supports positive and negative numbers (+3, 3, & -3) and even negated sub-expressions within the parenthesis just by the order of processing. The only shorter implementation is the Perl (w/o eval) one.

Edit: I''m still chasing Perl, but this is the second smallest answer right now. I shrunk it with changes to the second regex and by changing the treatment of the string to be destructive (replaces the old string). This eliminated the need to duplicate the string, which I found out to just be a new pointer to the string. And renaming the function to s from solve saved a few characters.


Common Lisp

(SBCL)
Number of characters: 251

(defun g(e)(if(numberp e)e(let((m (g (pop e)))(o(loop for x in e by #''cddr collect x))(n(loop for x in (cdr e)by #''cddr collect (g x))))(mapcar(lambda(x y)(setf m(apply x(list m y))))o n)m)))(defun w(e)(g(read-from-string(concatenate''string"("e")"))))

Proper version (387 chars):

(defun wrapper (exp) (golf-eval (read-from-string (concatenate ''string "(" exp ")")))) (defun golf-eval (exp) (if (numberp exp) exp (let ((mem (golf-eval (pop exp))) (op-list (loop for x in exp by #''cddr collect x)) (num-list (loop for x in (cdr exp) by #''cddr collect (golf-eval x)))) (mapcar (lambda (x y) (setf mem (apply x (list mem y)))) op-list num-list) mem)))

Input is form w() , which takes one string argument. It uses the trick that nums/operands and operators are in the pattern NONON ... and recursively evaluates all operands, and therefore getting nesting very cheap. ;)


DO#

Number of characters: 396 (updated)

(but fails the test you added with "/ -8", and I''m not inclined to fix it...

static float Eval(string s){int i,j;s=s.Trim();while((i=s.IndexOf('')''))>=0){j=s.LastIndexOf(''('',i,i);s=s.Substring(0,j++)+Eval(s.Substring(j,i-j))+s.Substring(i+1);}if((i=s.LastIndexOfAny("+-*/".ToCharArray()))<0) return float.Parse(s);var r=float.Parse(s.Substring(i+1));var l=i>0?Eval(s.Substring(0,i)):(float?)null;return s[i]==''+''?(l??0)+r:(s[i]==''-''?(l??0)-r:(s[i]==''/''?(l??1)/r:(l??1)*r));}

De:

static float Eval(string s) { int i, j; s = s.Trim(); while ((i = s.IndexOf('')'')) >= 0) { j = s.LastIndexOf(''('', i, i); s = s.Substring(0, j++) + Eval(s.Substring(j, i - j)) + s.Substring(i + 1); } if ((i = s.LastIndexOfAny("+-*/".ToCharArray())) < 0) return float.Parse(s); var r = float.Parse(s.Substring(i + 1)); var l = i > 0 ? Eval(s.Substring(0, i)) : (float?)null; return s[i] == ''+'' ? (l ?? 0) + r : (s[i] == ''-'' ? (l ?? 0) - r : (s[i] == ''/'' ? (l ?? 1) / r : (l ?? 1) * r)); }


DO#

So here''s my solution... I''m still waiting for someone to post one in C# that can beat it. (Marc Gravell was close, and may yet do better than me after some more tinkering.)

Fully obfuscated function:

float e(string x){float v=0;if(float.TryParse(x,out v))return v;x+='';'';int t=0; char o,s=''?'',p=''+'';float n=0;int l=0;for(int i=0;i<x.Length;i++){o=s;if( x[i]!='' ''){s=x[i];if(char.IsDigit(x[i])|s==''.''|(s==''-''&o!=''1''))s=''1'';if(s=='')'') l--;if(s!=o&l==0){if(o==''1''|o=='')''){n=e(x.Substring(t,i-t));if(p==''+'')v+=n; if(p==''-'')v-=n;if(p==''*'')v*=n;if(p==''/'')v/=n;p=x[i];}t=i;if(s==''('')t++;} if(s==''('')l++;}}return v;}

Semi-obfuscated function:

public static float Eval(string expr) { float val = 0; if (float.TryParse(expr, out val)) return val; expr += '';''; int tokenStart = 0; char oldState, state = ''?'', op = ''+''; float num = 0; int level = 0; for (int i = 0; i < expr.Length; i++) { oldState = state; if (expr[i] != '' '') { state = expr[i]; if (char.IsDigit(expr[i]) || state == ''.'' || (state == ''-'' && oldState != ''1'')) state = ''1''; if (state == '')'') level--; if (state != oldState && level == 0) { if (oldState == ''1'' || oldState == '')'') { num = Eval(expr.Substring(tokenStart, i - tokenStart)); if (op == ''+'') val += num; if (op == ''-'') val -= num; if (op == ''*'') val *= num; if (op == ''/'') val /= num; op = expr[i]; } tokenStart = i; if (state == ''('') tokenStart++; } if (state == ''('') level++; } } return val; }

Nothing too clever going on here, it woul seem. The function does however have the advantage of being re-entrant (ie thread-safe).

I am also reasonably pleased with the number of chars, given that it''s written in C# (valid 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 I believe).

Notes This edited version is rather more evil than my first attempt. Same algorithm, but now inline with a horrible tangle of goto s. I''ve ditched the co-routines, but am now using a couple of flavors of computed branches. All error checking and reporting has been removed, but this version will silently recover from some classes of unexpected characters in the input. This version also compiles with g77.

The primary limits are still fortran''s rigid formatting, long and ubiquitous keywords, and simple primitives.

Inicialmente, había leído mal las reglas, así que había enviado una versión con "eval". Aquí hay una versión sin él.

La última parte de la comprensión vino cuando me di cuenta de que el último dígito octal en los códigos de caracteres para + , - , / y * es diferente, y que ord(undef) es 0. Esto me permite configurar la tabla de distribución @a como una matriz, e invocar el código en la ubicación 7 & ord($3) .

FWIW, the n+1th Python solution. In a blatant abuse of try-except I use a trial-and-error approach. It should handle all cases properly including stuff like -(8) , --8 and g(''-(1 - 3)'') . It is re-entrant. Without support for the -- case which many implementations don''t support, it is at 217 chars (see previous revision).

Yet another Python solution, heavily using regular expression replacement. Each run through the loop the simplest expressions are computed and the results are put back into the string.

This is the unobfuscated code, unless you consider regular expressions to be obfuscated.

import re from operator import * operators = dict(zip("+-/*", (add, sub, truediv, mul))) def compute(s): def repl(m): v1, op, v2 = m.groups() return str(operators[op](float(v1), float(v2))) while not re.match("^/d+/./d+$", s): s = re.sub("([./d]+)/s*([+-/*])/s*([./d]+)", repl, s) s = re.sub("/(([./d]+)/)", r"/1", s) return s

Had this idea just as I was turning in and couldn''t let it go until I wrote it down and made it work.

N=''( *-?[/d.]+ *)'' def e x x.sub!(//(#{N}/)|#{N}([^./d])#{N}/){$1or(e$2).send$3,e($4)}?e(x):x.to_f end

Esta es una versión no recursiva de la solución The Wicked Flea. Las subexpresiones entre paréntesis se evalúan de abajo arriba en lugar de descendentes.

Editar : Convertir el ''while'' en una recursión condicional + tail ha guardado algunos caracteres, por lo que ya no es recursivo (aunque la recursión no es semánticamente necesaria).

Editar : Tomando prestado la idea de Daniel Martin de fusionar las expresiones regulares guarda otros 11 caracteres.

Editar : ¡Esa recursión es incluso más útil de lo que pensé! x.to_f puede volver a escribir como e(x) , si x contiene un solo número.

Editar : usar '' or '' en lugar de '' || ''permite descartar un par de paréntesis.

Versión larga:

# Decimal number, as a capturing group, for substitution # in the main regexp below. N=''( *-?[/d.]+ *)'' # The evaluation function def e(x) matched = x.sub!(//(#{N}/)|#{N}([^/d.])#{N}/) do # Group 1 is a numeric literal in parentheses. If this is present then # just return it. if $1 $1 # Otherwise, $3 is an operator symbol and $2 and $4 are the operands else # Recursively call e to parse the operands (we already know from the # regexp that they are numeric literals, and this is slightly shorter # than using :to_f) e($2).send($3, e($4)) # We could have converted $3 to a symbol ($3.to_s) or converted the # result back to string form, but both are done automatically anyway end end if matched then # We did one reduction. Now recurse back and look for more. e(x) else # If the string doesn''t look like a non-trivial expression, assume it is a # string representation of a real number and attempt to parse it x.to_f end end

This is the shortest ruby solution up to now (one heavily based on RegExp yields incorrect answers when string contains few groups of parenthesis) -- no longer true. Solutions based on regex and substitution are shorter. This one is based on stack of accumulators and parses whole expression from left to right. It is re-entrant, and does not modify input string. It could be accused of breaking the rules of not using eval , as it calls Float ''s methods with identical names as their mathematical mnemonics (+,-,/,*).

Obfuscated code (old version, tweaked below) :

def f(p);a,o=[0],[''+''] p.sub(/-/,''+-'').scan(/(?:(-?/d+(?:/./d+)?)|(.))/s*/).each{|n| q,w=n;case w;when''('';a<<0;o<<''+'';when'')'';q=a.pop;else;o<<w end if q.nil?;a[-1]=a[-1].method(o.pop).call(q.to_f) if !q.nil?};a[0];end

More obfuscated code:

def f(p);a,o=[0],[:+] p.scan(/(?:(-?/d+(?:/./d+)?)|(.))/s*/).each{|n|q,w=n;case w when''('';a<<0;o<<:+;when'')'';q=a.pop;else;o<<w;end if !q a<<a.pop.send(o.pop,q.to_f)if q};a[0];end

Clean code:

def f(p) accumulators, operands = [0], [''+''] p.gsub(/-/,''+-'').scan(/(?:(-?/d+(?:/./d+)?)|(.))/s*/).each do |n| number, operand = n case operand when ''('' accumulators << 0 operands << ''+'' when '')'' number = accumulators.pop operands.pop else operands[-1] = operand end if number.nil? accumulators[-1] = accumulators.last.method(operands[-1]).call(number.to_f) unless number.nil? end accumulators.first end

After Jeff Moser ''s comment, I realized that I had completely forgotten about this language... I''m no expert, but my first attempt went rather well.

e=:>@{:@f@;: f=:''''&(4 :0) ''y x''=.x g y while.($y)*-.'')''={.>{.y do.''y x''=.(x,>(-.''/''={.>{.y){(''%'';y))g}.y end.y;x ) g=:4 :0 z=.>{.y if.z=''(''do.''y z''=.f}.y else.if.z=''-''do.z=.''_'',>{.}.y end.end.(}.y);":".x,z )

It''s a bit annoying, having to map x/y and -z into J''s x%y and _z . Without that, maybe 50% of this code could disappear.

decompressed function:

float strtof(); char* e; float v(); float g() { while (*e == '' '') ++e; return *e++ != ''('' ? strtof(e-1, &e) : v(); } float v() { float b, a = g(); for (;;) { while (*e == '' '') ++e; float op = *e++; if (op == 0 || op == '')'') return a; b = g(); a = op == ''+'' ? a + b : op == ''-'' ? a - b : op == ''*'' ? a * b : a / b; } } float eval(char* x) { e = x; return v(); }

Function is not re-entrant.

EDIT from Chris Lutz : I hate to trample on another man''s code, but here is a 209 -character version:

#define S for(;*e==32;e++) #define X (*e++-40?strtof(e-1,&e):v()) float strtof();char*e;float v(){float o,a=X;for(;;){S;o=*e++;if(!o|o==41)return a;S;a=o-43?o-45?o-42?a/X:a*X:a-X:a+X;}} #define f(x) (e=x,v())

Readable (well, not really very readable, but decompressed):

float strtof(); char *e; float v() { float o, a = *e++ != ''('' ? strtof(e - 1, &e) : v(); for(;;) { for(; *e == '' ''; e++); o = *e++; if(o == 0 || o=='')'') return a; for(; *e == '' ''; e++); // I have no idea how to properly indent nested conditionals // and this is far too long to fit on one line. a = o != ''+'' ? o != ''-'' ? o != ''*'' ? a / (*e++ != ''('' ? strtof(e - 1, &e) : v()) : a * (*e++ != ''('' ? strtof(e - 1, &e) : v()) : a - (*e++ != ''('' ? strtof(e - 1, &e) : v()) : a + (*e++ != ''('' ? strtof(e - 1, &e) : v()); } } #define f(x) (e = x, v())

Yeah, f() is a macro, not a function, but it works. The readable version has some of the logic rewritten but not reordered (like o != ''+'' instead of o - ''+'' ), but is otherwise just an indented (and preprocessed) version of the other one. I keep trying to simplify the if(!o|o==41)return a; part into the for() loop, but it never makes it shorter. I still believe it can be done, but I''m done golfing. If I work on this question anymore, it will be in the language that must not be named .

function evaluate(x) { x = x.replace(/ /g, "") + ")"; function primary() { if (x[0] == ''('') { x = x.substr(1); return expression(); } var n = /^[-+]?/d*/.?/d*/.exec(x)[0]; x = x.substr(n.length); return +n; } function expression() { var a = primary(); for (;;) { var operator = x[0]; x = x.substr(1); if (operator == '')'') { return a; } var b = primary(); a = (operator == ''+'') ? a + b : (operator == ''-'') ? a - b : (operator == ''*'') ? a * b : a / b; } } return expression(); }

Neither version will work in IE, because they use array-style subscripting on the string. If you replace both occurrences of x[0] with x.charAt(0) , the first one should work everywhere.

I cut out some more characters since the first version by turning variables into function parameters and replacing another if statement with the conditional operator.

Python (without importing anything)

Number of characters: 222

I stole many tricks from Dave''s answer, but I managed to shave off some more characters.

def e(s,l=0,n=0,f=''+''): if s:l=[c for c in s+'')''if'' ''!=c] while f!='')'': p=l.pop;m=p(0) if m==''('':m=e(0,l) while l[0]not in''+-*/)'':m+=p(0) m=float(m);n={''+'':n+m,''-'':n-m,''*'':n*m,''/'':n/(m or 1)}[f];f=p(0) return n

Commented version:

def evaluate(stringexpr, listexpr=0, n=0, f_operation=''+''): # start out as taking 0 + the expression... (or could use 1 * ;) # We''ll prefer to keep the expression as a list of characters, # so we can use .pop(0) to eat up the expression as we go. if stringexpr: listexpr = [c for c in stringexpr+'')'' if c!='' ''] # use '')'' as sentinel to return the answer while f_operation != '')'': m_next = listexpr.pop(0) if m_next == ''('': # lists are passed by reference, so this call will eat the (parexp) m_next = evaluate(None, listexpr) else: # rebuild any upcoming numeric chars into a string while listexpr[0] not in ''+-*/)'': m_next += listexpr.pop(0) # Update n as the current answer. But never divide by 0. m = float(m_next) n = {''+'':n+m, ''-'':n-m, ''*'':n*m, ''/'':n/(m or 1)}[f_operation] # prepare the next operation (known to be one of ''+-*/)'') f_operation = listexpr.pop(0) return n


Python with regular expressions

Number of characters: 283

Fully obfuscated function:

import re from operator import* def c(e): O=dict(zip("+-/*()",(add,sub,truediv,mul))) a=[add,0];s=a for v,o in re.findall("(-?[./d]+)|([+-/*()])",e): if v:s=[float(v)]+s elif o=="(":s=a+s elif o!=")":s=[O[o]]+s if v or o==")":s[:3]=[s[1](s[2],s[0])] return s[0]

Not obfuscated:

import re from operator import * def compute(s): operators = dict(zip("+-/*()", (add, sub, truediv, mul))) stack = [add, 0] for val, op in re.findall("(-?[./d]+)|([+-/*()])", s): if val: stack = [float(val)] + stack elif op == "(": stack = [add, 0] + stack elif op != ")": stack = [operators[op]] + stack if val or op == ")": stack[:3] = [stack[1](stack[2], stack[0])] return stack[0]

I wanted to see if I cab beat the other Python solutions using regular expressions.

Couldn''t.

The regular expression I''m using creates a list of pairs (val, op) where only one item in each pair is valid. The rest of the code is a rather standard stack based parser with a neat trick of replacing the top 3 cells in the stack with the result of the computation using Python list assignment syntax. Making this work with negative numbers required only two additional characters (-? in the regex).


Ruby 1.8.7

Do try and take it easy on my implementation, it''s the first time I''ve written an expression parser in my life! I guarantee that it isn''t the best.

Obfuscated:

def solve_expression(e) t,r,s,c,n=e.chars.to_a,[],'''','''','''' while(c=t.shift) n=t[0] if (s+c).match(/^(-?)[./d]+$/) || (!n.nil? && n.match(//d/) && c==''-'') s+=c elsif (c==''-'' && n==''('') || c==''('' m,o,x=c==''-'',1,'''' while(c=t.shift) o+=1 if c==''('' o-=1 if c=='')'' x+=c unless c=='')'' && o==0 break if o==0 end r.push(m ? -solve_expression(x) : solve_expression(x)) s='''' elsif c.match(/[+/-//*]/) r.push(c) and s='''' else r.push(s) if !s.empty? s='''' end end r.push(s) unless s.empty? i=1 a=r[0].to_f while i<r.count b,c=r[i..i+1] c=c.to_f case b when ''+'': a=a+c when ''-'': a=a-c when ''*'': a=a*c when ''/'': a=a/c end i+=2 end a end

Readable:

def solve_expression(expr) chars = expr.chars.to_a # characters of the expression parts = [] # resulting parts s,c,n = '''','''','''' # current string, character, next character while(c = chars.shift) n = chars[0] if (s + c).match(/^(-?)[./d]+$/) || (!n.nil? && n.match(//d/) && c == ''-'') # only concatenate when it is part of a valid number s += c elsif (c == ''-'' && n == ''('') || c == ''('' # begin a sub-expression negate = c == ''-'' open = 1 subExpr = '''' while(c = chars.shift) open += 1 if c == ''('' open -= 1 if c == '')'' # if the number of open parenthesis equals 0, we''ve run to the end of the # expression.

SNOBOL4

Number of characters: 232

a = pos(0) | ''('' n = span(''0123456789.'') j = ''!+;!-;!*;!/; output = e'' d j ''!'' len(1) . y = " e a . q n . l ''" y "'' n . r = q (l " y " r) :s(p)" :s(d) k = code(j) e = input s e '' '' = :s(s) p e (''('' n . i '')'') = i :s(p)f<k> end

This is a semi-cheat. It uses code() (a variant of eval) to de-compress itself, but not to evaluate the input expression.

De-obfuscated version, without code :

prefix = pos(0) | ''('' num = span(''0123456789.'') expr = input spaces expr '' '' = '''' :s(spaces) paren expr (''('' num . x '')'') = x :s(paren) add expr (prefix . pfx) (num . l) ''+'' (num . r) = pfx (l + r) :s(paren) sub expr (prefix . pfx) (num . l) ''-'' (num . r) = pfx (l - r) :s(paren) mul expr (prefix . pfx) (num . l) ''*'' (num . r) = pfx (l * r) :s(paren) div expr (prefix . pfx) (num . l) ''/'' (num . r) = pfx (l / r) :s(paren) output = expr end

Strategy:

  • First, remove all spaces ( spaces )
  • Whenever possible, remove parentheses surrounding a number ( paren )
  • Otherwise, find a simple expression involving two numbers, prefixed by ''('' or at the start of the string
  • If none of the above rules apply, the expression is fully evaluated. Now if the input was well formed we should be left with a number.

Ejemplo:

  • 1 + (2 * 3) + 4
  • 1+(2*3)+4 [ spaces ]
  • 1+(6)+4 [ mul ]
  • 1+6+4 [ paren ]
  • 7+4 [ add ]
  • 11 [ add ]

It is not shortest. But I think that it is very flexible for SQL. It''s easy to add new operators. It''s easy to change priority of operators.


DO#

Number of Characters: 355

I took here and modified it, so give Noldorin 99% of the credit for this. Best I could do with the algorithm was using was 408 characters. See here for the clearer code version.

Changes made:
Change char comparisons to compare against numbers.
Removed some default declarations and combined same type of declarations.
Re-worked some of the if statments.

float q(string x){float v,n;if(!float.TryParse(x,out v)){x+='';'';int t=0,l=0,i=0;char o,s=''?'',p=''+'';for(;i<x.Length;i++){o=s;if(x[i]!=32){s=x[i];if(char.IsDigit(x[i])|s==46|(s==45&o!=49))s=''1'';if(s==41)l--;if(s!=o&l==0){if(o==49|o==41){n=q(x.Substring(t,i-t));v=p==43?v+n:p==45?v-n:p==42?v*n:p==47?v/n:v;p=x[i];}t=i;if(s==40)t++;}if(s==40)l++;}}}return v;}

Edit: knocked it down some more, from 361 to 355, by removing one of the return statments.
