Having a character become a math operator... - RunUO

IHaveRegistered · 04-23-2006, 03:37 PM

Is it possible to have something like this:

Code:

char mathop = '+';

num1 mathop num2 = sum

Just wondering, if it's not I still got a backup (it'll just take longer :P)

Thanks in advance!

Impossible.
You want to use switch statement, althought there is a way through dynamic code recompiling at the runtime which is slow as hell...

Either dynamic code recompiling, or a custom parser, or some variation of CLR assembly.

C//
