Evaluating a string as a mathematical expression in JavaScript

Question

How do I parse and evaluate a mathematical expression in a string (e.g. \'1+1\') without invoking eval(string) to yield its numerical value?

Answer 1

I believe that parseInt and ES6 can be helpful in this situation

let func = (str) => {
  let arr = str.split("");
  return `${Number(arr[0]) + parseInt(arr[1] + Number(arr[2]))}`
};

console.log(func("1+1"));

The main thing here is that parseInt parses the number with the operator. Code can be modified to the corresponding needs.
