Code Golf: Mathematical expression evaluator (that respects PEMDAS)

Answer 1

C#, 13 lines:

static string Calc(string exp)
{
    WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://google.com/search?q=" + 
                                           HttpUtility.UrlDecode(exp));
    using (WebResponse response = request.GetResponse())
    using (Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream())
    using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream))
    {
        string r = reader.ReadToEnd();
        int start = r.IndexOf(" = ") + 3;
        int end = r.IndexOf("<", start);
        return r.Substring(start, end - start);
    }
}

This compresses down to about 317 characters:

static string C(string e){var q = WebRequest.Create("http://google.com/search?q="
+HttpUtility.UrlDecode(e));using (var p=q.GetResponse()) using (var s=
p.GetResponseStream()) using (var d = new StreamReader(dataStream)){var
r=d.ReadToEnd();var t=r.IndexOf(" = ") + 3;var e=r.IndexOf("<",t);return
r.Substring(t,e-t);}}

Thanks to Mark and P Daddy in the comments, is compresses to 195 characters:

string C(string f){using(var c=new WebClient()){var r=c.DownloadString
("http://google.com/search?q="+HttpUtility.UrlDecode(f));int s=r.IndexOf(
" = ")+3;return r.Substring(s,r.IndexOf("<",f)-s);}}
