JavaScript Calculator

Description

The web relies on JavaScript to add rich, dynamic features that aren't otherwise possible with HTML and CSS alone. This project was an exercise in using JavaScriptto perform calculations on user input.

It tokenizes the user input then leverages the shunting-yard algorithm to perform order of operations. It was challenging to decide how to track changes to the user input and to perform the calculations in the correct order.

After completing the project on my own, I learned about JavaScript's eval() function, which could have been used instead of the shunting-yard algorithm.
