I am making a calculator and part of this program takes in user String
input and tokenizes it (using my own implementation of a Tokenizer
class). So now I have a bunch of Token
objects and I would like to test each one of them to see if they hold numbers or operators.
Is there a way to test to see if they hold operators (ie. +, -, *, /, =, (, ), etc.) without using
if (token.equals("+") || token.equals("-") || ...
and so on, for each operator? These Token
objects are all of type String
.
