Will this work?

1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+1x0 = 14

so, u want a function for that?
i think its pretty hard to make... hmmm

Well made a start in gsc code (not yet done though):

Code:

/********NOT YET DONE********* * Purpose: Does the Expression with various groupings. * Parameter Expression requires a string. * Seperate each integer and operator with a space. * Example input: "11 + 2 - 3" * Returns an array of the (unique) results. */ noParens( Expression ) { if( !isDefined(Expression) || Expression == "" ) return undefined; Tokens = strTok( Expression, " " ); if( Tokens.size == 1 ) return int(Expression); for( i=0;i<Tokens.size;i++) if( i%2==0 ) Tokens[i] = int( Tokens[ i ] ); resultArray = []; //TODO: Do the various groupings here and put the results in resultArray[]. for( i=0;i<resultArray.size;i++ ) if( isDefined( resultArray[i] )) for( x=i+1;x<resultArray.size;x++ ) if( isDefined( resultArray[x] ) && x != i && resultArray[i] == resultArray[x]) resultArray[x] = undefined; resultArrayNoSame = []; for( i=0;i<resultArray.size;i++ ) if( isDefined( resultArray[i] )) resultArrayNoSame[resultArrayNoSame.size] = resultArray[i]; return resultArrayNoSame; }

Edit: Small improvement.

Uhhh this IT english.. hurts brain

What he means is:
when you do 1 + 2 + 3 * 4 - 5 * 2 the answer is 5 but when you do
1 + 2 + 3 * (4 - 5) * 2 the answer is -3
he wants to know all possible answers by putting the brackets () somewhere else

And why do he want to know that?

It's asking to create a function which will calculate every single combination possible by moving/shifting brackets. Probably overdid it in the explanation but lol. I believe this was one of the question used in a programming interview. Seems copy and pasted anyway.
