Simple Math

If I prompt the user for the number and the operator what method would be used to evaluate a simple math like 5 + 5... another words user puts in a solution to solve and the program has to solve it. I already asked for the numbers and the operator but i cant get it to evaluate it. Please help!

Hi! I think your best bet might be to use a switch statement and switch on the operator. Then you could use that to evaluate the two numbers coming in.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Hi! Thank you for your answer, I don't know much about switch statement yet, but I think switch statement is unnecessary, because user is putting in random operators and random numbers. If I can store that random operator in a ( var ) maybe then i can probably do var answer = num1 + (operator) + num2;
