Is it possible to pass arithmetic operators to a method in java?
- by drJames
Right now I'm going to have to write a method that looks like this:
public String Calculate(String Operator, Double Operand1, Double Operand2)
{
if (Operator.equals("+"))
{
return String.valueOf(Operand1 + Operand2);
}
else if (Operator.equals("-"))
{
return String.valueOf(Operand1 - Operand2);
}
else if (Operator.equals("*"))
{
return String.valueOf(Operand1 * Operand2);
}
else
{
return "error...";
}
}
It would be nice if I could write the code more like this:
public String Calculate(String Operator, Double Operand1, Double Operand2)
{
return String.valueOf(Operand1 Operator Operand2);
}
So Operator would replace the Arithmetic Operators (+, -, *, /...)
Does anyone know if something like this is possible in java?
