Evaluate an array expression with numbers, + and -

Given an array arr[] of string type which consists of strings "+", "-" and Numbers. Find the sum of the given array.

Examples :

Input : arr[] = {"3", "+", "4", "-", "7", "+", "13"}
Output : Value = 13
The value of expression 3+4-7+13 is 13.

Input : arr[] = { "2", "+", "1", "-8", "+", "13"}
Output : Value = 8

Approach :

First of all, initialize the sum i.e, sum = 0.
Start traversing the array.
As there is string of numbers at every even position of the array, so convert this string into integer and store in a variable value by using stoi function in C++.
As there is operator at every odd position, check if the operator is '+' or '-'. If it is '+', then add the value to the sum, else subtract from the sum.
Finally, return the sum obtained.

Below is the implementation of the above approach :

C++

// C++ program to find sum of given array of 
// string type in integer form
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to find the sum of given array
int calculateSum(string arr[], int n)
{   
    // if string is empty
    if (n == 0)
       return 0;

    string s = arr[0];

    // stoi function to convert
    // string into integer
    int value = stoi(s);
    int sum = value;

    for (int i = 2; i < n; i = i + 2)
    {
        s = arr[i];

        // stoi function to convert 
        // string into integer
        int value = stoi(s);

        // Find operator
        char operation = arr[i - 1][0];

        // If operator is equal to '+',
        // add value in sum variable 
        // else subtract
        if (operation == '+')
            sum += value;
        else
            sum -= value;
    }
    return sum;
}

// Driver Function
int main()
{
    string arr[] = { "3", "+", "4", "-",
                     "7", "+", "13" };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);   
    cout << calculateSum(arr, n);   
    return 0;
}
