I really, really think you can't do that. First of all, your second var is an integer, so it can't be a symbol. Second, there's no such syntax (at least I think so) in c++. What you could do is, after reading input, do "if" check for possible operation symbols and then do math in them. if(b=='+'){ d = a + c; } else if(b=='-'){ d = a - c; } etc.

When you write a comment, there should be "+Insert..." on the same panel in bottom left. Then instead of trending select your codes and pick one.

To be fair, I have never seen anything like "(a) (b) (c) = (d);". How is it called and what is it supposed to do?

I think I got it #include <iostream> using namespace std; class MyClass{ public: MyClass(int a, int b, int c, int d); private: const int shlong; const int zillow; int dankdankbaby; int comunism; }; MyClass::MyClass(int a, int b, int c, int d) : shlong(b), zillow(d), dankdankbaby(c), comunism (a) { } int main() { int a, b, c, d; cin >> a; cin >> b; cin >> c; MyClass obj(a, b, c, d); (a) (b) (c) = (d); cout << d; return 0; }

A is a number b is a function like division multiplication addition and subtraction and c is the other number. D is the value of the equation and input has to be vertical like this 4 / 2 Or 10 / 5 And the output would be 2

Ok thanks I was thinking I could avoid doing that because it would be time consuming for me
