> Problem: Write a function EVAL that takes a character string and returns a

> EVAL is given a string s that is a legal arithmetic expression over
> 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,.,+,-,*,/,(, and ), then it should set s to be the
> empty string and return the value of the expression. EVAL should supply a *
> if an operator is missing (e.g. (1+2)3=9 or 1.6.5=.8); an empty input
> string or an empty expression such as () is legal, but a missing argument
> such as (1+) is illegal. Expressions should be evaluated from left to right
> with no precedence given to operators (e.g. 1+2*3=9). If an illegal string
> s is given to EVAL, then s can be assigned any non-empty string to signal
> that an error was detected and an arbitrary value may be returned (or, if
> you want to make your program a bit more "friendly", return error messages
> through other arguments to EVAL or by setting s to an appropriate error
> message). EVAL should be written in standard C where you write the code to
> convert a string to a real number yourself and you make no use of any extra
> built-in functions provided by the particular compiler that your are using.
> What to do: After your program is working, make a listing that includes the
> EVAL function itself (with a large header comment that describes how it
> works), any utility routines that are used, and code that repeatedly asks
> the user to enter an expression (or q to quit) and computes the value of
> the expression. Along with this listing, include sample output that
> provides evidence that your program works; in particular, include the legal
> expressions
> 0, (((0))), 1+2*3, 1+(2*3), (1)(2+3), 1.6.5, -0, --1, 2+--2
> and the illegal expressions: 1/0, 1++2, a, ..2, 1+2)
> A slightly easier problem (75% credit): Allow only expressions that do not
