A regexp for a number is: `pattern:-?\d+(\.\d+)?`. We created it in previous tasks.
|
|
|
|
An operator is `pattern:[-+*/]`.
|
|
|
|
Please note:
|
|
- Here the dash `pattern:-` goes first in the brackets, because in the middle it would mean a character range, while we just want a character `-`.
|
|
- A slash `/` should be escaped inside a JavaScript regexp `pattern:/.../`, we'll do that later.
|
|
|
|
We need a number, an operator, and then another number. And optional spaces between them.
|
|
|
|
The full regular expression: `pattern:-?\d+(\.\d+)?\s*[-+*/]\s*-?\d+(\.\d+)?`.
|
|
|
|
To get a result as an array let's put parentheses around the data that we need: numbers and the operator: `pattern:(-?\d+(\.\d+)?)\s*([-+*/])\s*(-?\d+(\.\d+)?)`.
|
|
|
|
In action:
|
|
|
|
```js run
|
|
let reg = /(-?\d+(\.\d+)?)\s*([-+*\/])\s*(-?\d+(\.\d+)?)/;
|
|
|
|
alert( "1.2 + 12".match(reg) );
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The result includes:
|
|
|
|
- `result[0] == "1.2 + 12"` (full match)
|
|
- `result[1] == "1.2"` (first group `(-?\d+(\.\d+)?)` -- the first number, including the decimal part)
|
|
- `result[2] == ".2"` (second group`(\.\d+)?` -- the first decimal part)
|
|
- `result[3] == "+"` (third group `([-+*\/])` -- the operator)
|
|
- `result[4] == "12"` (forth group `(-?\d+(\.\d+)?)` -- the second number)
|
|
- `result[5] == undefined` (fifth group `(\.\d+)?` -- the last decimal part is absent, so it's undefined)
|
|
|
|
We only want the numbers and the operator, without the full match or the decimal parts.
|
|
|
|
The full match (the arrays first item) can be removed by shifting the array `pattern:result.shift()`.
|
|
|
|
The decimal groups can be removed by making them into non-capturing groups, by adding `pattern:?:` to the beginning: `pattern:(?:\.\d+)?`.
|
|
|
|
The final solution:
|
|
|
|
```js run
|
|
function parse(expr) {
|
|
let reg = /(-?\d+(?:\.\d+)?)\s*([-+*\/])\s*(-?\d+(?:\.\d+)?)/;
|
|
|
|
let result = expr.match(reg);
|
|
|
|
if (!result) return [];
|
|
result.shift();
|
|
|
|
return result;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
alert( parse("-1.23 * 3.45") ); // -1.23, *, 3.45
|
|
```
