in reply to Re^2: a timid approach to parsing arithmetic expressions in perl
in thread a timid approach to parsing arithmetic expressions in perl
3**(6-1*4)**2 is a bad test since (3**2)**2 happens to equal 3**(2**2)
When I use the 3**4**2 I had previously mentioned, your code returns 6561 ((3**4)**2) instead of 43046721 (3**(4**2)).
>perl -le"print 3**4**2" 43046721
