Having random operators in an equation?

Questions & Answers
1

Hey everyone, I’m making a math game that generates random equations, the twist is that plus is equal to minus, multiply is equal to divide and vise versa. While I can get the game to work with just two numbers, e.g. 2+2, I cannot seem to make the game generate a random equation with more than 2 numbers, e.g 2+2-3.

Does anyone have any idea how I can randomly generate the operators in the equation and have unity calculate the answer?

There are languages where you can say things like w="-"; print mathResult(7 w 3);`, but it would take much longer to learn them than to do it the long way.

Think about this to get started:

int mathResult(int n1, string op, int n2) {
  if(op=="+") return n1+n2;
  if(op=="X") return n1*n2;
   ....
}

Then you can find the result of “a op1 b op2 c” using: r1=mathResult(a, op1, b); answer=mathResult(r1, op2 c);
