Char to Operator C++

Question

Hey I wanted to know how you could turn a character '+' into an operator. For example if I had

char op = '+'
cout << 6 op 1;

Thanks.

Answer 1

SImple way is to use a switch statement

switch (op)
{
case '+':
  res = x + y;
  break;
case '-':
  res = x - y;
  break;
case '*':
  res = x * y;
  break;
}
