Answer 1

You can easily do this with the "Compute" method of the DataTable class.

static Double Eval(String expression)
{
    System.Data.DataTable table = new System.Data.DataTable();
    return Convert.ToDouble(table.Compute(expression, String.Empty));
}

Pass a term in form of a string to the function in order to get the result.

Double result = Eval("7 * 6");
result = Eval("17 + 4");
