@Vukan i havent tried it yet 😄 but i was trying to think up a challange for my self to use format(), binary, bitwise and regex so i come up with this but i might not need all that 😜 i think if i can see whats on either side of the operator it shouldent be too bad.... says me lol 😀😀

use the concept of stack first convert the give expression into postfix or prefix expression and then apply the evaluation of postfix or prefix expression

Hello all and Michail Getmanskiy, D_Stark , I have attached my code here please check it out. Some notes related to my code. 1. It will work for basic operations like +, -, *, / and %. It also processes parenthesis. 2. I have used the concept like expression tree. But I haven't used any data structures to find out the steps. It's pure logic used to find the next step. Sample test case which is given : Input : 5 -2 * 2 + 4 * 5 Output : Step 1 : 2 * 2 = 4 Step 2 : 5 - 4 = 1 Step 3 : 4 * 5 = 20 Step 4 : 1 + 20 = 21 Final result : 21 Explanation: Steps Remaining Exp. 1: 2 * 2 = 4 5 - 4 + 4 * 5 2: 5 - 4 = 1 1 + 4 * 5 3: 4 * 5 = 20 1 + 20 4: 1 + 20 = 21 21 In solution version v2 I will try to get the ans like given in question. https://code.sololearn.com/cFI79zCiU4dL/?ref=app
