Implement a simple integer operation scriptable calculator.

Concept

The accumulator starts at 0 and has operations performed on it. At the end of the program output the value of the accumulator.

Operations:

  • + adds 1 to the accumulator
  • - subtracts 1 from the accumulator
  • * multiplies the accumulator by 2
  • / divides the accumulator by 2

Sample script

The input ++**--/ should give the output 3.

Example implementation

def calc(s)
    i = 0
    s.chars.each do |o|
        case o
            when '+'
                i += 1
            when '-'
                i -= 1
            when '*'
                i *= 2
            when '/'
                i /= 2
        end
    end
    return i
end

Rules

  • This is , so lowest answer in bytes wins, but is not selected.
  • Creative implementations are encouraged.
  • Standard loopholes are prohibited.
  • You get the program via stdin or arguments, and you can output the answer via return value or stdout.
  • Have fun.
  • Division truncates down because it is integer division.
  • The program -/ returns -1.

Python 2, 48 bytes

i=0
for c in input():exec"i=i%s2&-2"%c
print i/2

Does +2, -2, *2, or /2. By doing +2 and -2 rather than +1 and -1, we're working in doubled units, so the final output needs to be halved. Except, the floor-division / now needs to round down to a multiple of 2, which is done with &-2.

\$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ This is brilliant! If you want to post it yourself a CJam port of this would currently be leading the challenge: 0q{2\~-2&}/2/ (2\~ evals the operator with second operand 2, -2& is the bitwise AND, 2/ is the final division by two. q{...}/ is a foreach over the input and 0 is just the initial value.) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Aug 29, 2016 at 10:06

Jelly, 18 17 bytes

O0;ṛĿ/

Try it online!

How it works

The first six lines define helper links with indices ranging from 1 to 6; they increment, do nothing, decrement, do nothing, halve (flooring), and double.

The main link – O0;ṛĿ/ – converts the input characters to their code points (O), prepends a 0 (initial value) to the array of code points 0;, then reduces the generated array as follows.

The initial value is the first element of the array, i.e., the prepended 0. The quicklink ṛĿ is called for every following element in the array, with the last return value as left argument and the current element as right one. It inspects its right argument () and evaluates the link with that index monadically (Ŀ), thus applying the desired operation.

Python 2, 54 bytes

i=0
for c in input():exec"i=i"+c+`~ord(c)%5%3`
print i

Input is taken as a string literal. ~ord(c)%5%3 maps the operators to the corresponding right operands.

Previously, I used hash(c)%55%3 which didn't yield consistent results between different versions of Python. This encouraged me to explore other formulas.

Explanation of the states:

Initialization:
These states are visited once at the beginning of each run, starting with init2

  • init2: Move all the way to the right and put a '.'. That way the TM knows when to stop. Change to 'init0'.
  • init0: Move all the back to the left until the head reads a space. Then move one cell to the left. Change to 'init1'.
  • init1: Put a zero and move one cell to the right and change to 'readop'.

Reading instructions:
These states will be visited multiple times throughout the program

  • readop: Moves all the way to the right until it reads an operator or the '.'. If it hits an operator, change to the corresponding state (+,-,x,/). If it hits a '.', change to state 'fin'.

  • return: Returns the head to the empty space between the running total and the operators. Then changes to 'readop'.

Operations:
These operations do the actual dirty work

  • +: Move to the left until the head reads any non- whitespace character. If this character is a '-', move left and change to 'dec'. Otherwise, change to 'inc'.

  • -: Similar to '+', except change to 'inc' if there is a '-' and 'dec' otherwise.

  • inc: If the digit under the head is a 0 (or a whitespace), change it to 1 and change to 'zero'. If the digit is a 1, change it to 0, then repeat on the next digit.

  • dec: Similar to inc, except 1 goes to 0, 0 goes to 1, and if the head reads a whitespace, change to 'neg'.

  • x, x0, x1: Bitshift the number one to the left. Change to 'return'.

  • /, //, div, div0, div1: Move all the way to the right of the number, then bitshift one to the right. If there is a '-', change to 'inc'. This simulates rounding down negative numbers. Otherwise, change to 'zero'

  • neg: Place a '-' after the number then change to 'readop'

  • zero, zero1, zero2: Remove leading zeros and change to 'readop'

Cleanup: Makes the output presentable

  • fin, min: Move the '-' in front of the number if necessary. Halt.

{([Ro] %(<+ - * />Z=>*+1,*-1,* *2,*div 2){.comb})(0)}

{[Ro](%(<+ - * />Z=>*+1,*-1,*×2,*div 2){.comb})(0)}

Explanation:

# bare block lambda that has one implicit parameter 「$_」
{
  (
    # reduce the code refs using ring operator 「∘」 in reverse 「R」
    [R[o]]

      # produce a hash from:
      %(

        # list of pairs of "operator" to code ref
        # ( similar to 「'+' => { $^a + 1 }」 )

          # keys
          < + - * / >

        # keys and values joined using infix zip operator 「Z」
        # combined with the infix Pair constructor operator 「=>」
        Z[=>]

          # values (Whatever lambdas)
          * + 1,
          * - 1,
          * × 2, # same as 「* * 2」
          * div 2,

      ){

        # split the block's argument into chars
        # and use them as keys to the hash
        # which will result in a list of code refs
        .comb

      }

  # call composed code ref with 0
  )(0)
}

Usage:

my $input = '++**--/'
my $output = {[Ro](%(<+ - * />Z=>*+1,*-1,*×2,*div 2){.comb})(0)}.( $input );
say $output; # 3
say $output.^name; # Int

                           '>' is increment by 1
                           '<' is decrement by 1
                           '·' is multiply by 2
                           '2÷' is integer divide by two

Both solutions are based on the same idea: using the perfect hash function eval(2+c+3)&3 to map the different operator characters c in [0, 3].

 operator | eval(2+c+3)  | eval(2+c+3)&3
----------+--------------+---------------
    +     |  2+3 = 5     |    5 & 3 = 1
    -     |  2-3 = -1    |   -1 & 3 = 3
    *     |  2*3 = 6     |    6 & 3 = 2
    /     |  2/3 ~= 0.67 | 0.67 & 3 = 0

JavaScript (ES6), 57

a=>[...a].map(c=>a=c<'+'?a<<1:c<'-'?-~a:c<'/'?~-a:a>>1)|a

Note: the initial value for accumulator is the program string, using bit operations (~, >>, <<, |) it is converted to 0 at first use.

As a side note, the clever answer of @xnor would score 40 ported to javascript:

a=>[...a].map(c=>a=eval(~~a+c+2))&&a>>1

(if you like this, vote for him)

Test

f=a=>[...a].map(c=>a=c<'+'?a<<1:c<'-'?-~a:c<'/'?~-a:a>>1)|a

function update() {
  O.textContent = f(I.value);

GNU sed, 65 59 57 bytes

Edit: 2 bytes shorter thanks to Toby Speight's comments

s/[+-]/1&/g
s/*/2&/g
s:/:d0>@2&:g
s/.*/dc -e"0[1-]s@&p"/e

Run:

sed -f simple_calculator.sed <<< "*///*-*+-+"

Output:

-1

The sed script prepares the input for the dc shell call at the end, the latter accepting the input in Reverse Polish notation. On division, if the number is negative (d0>), the [1-] decrement command stored in register @ is called. Conversion example: + - * / --> 1+ 1- 2* d0>@2/.

  • \$\begingroup\$ @TobySpeight In my mind I switched the meaning of s with S. I forgot that it doesn't replace the registry's stack, it pushes onto it, having the contrary effect of what I wanted (since I used it for every /). The quotes are still needed because you have / symbols in it making the string interpreted as a file path :) I shaved 1 byte more by removing the space after the -e. \$\endgroup\$

PHP, 75 bytes

This uses a modified version of Jörg Hülsermann's answer.

eval(preg_replace('~.~','$s=($s\0(2-ord("\0")%11%3))|0;',$argv[1]));echo$s;

It heavily relies on string substitution, using a simple regular expression (~.~).

The variable $s is re-assigned with the new value for each character. At the end, it outputs the result.


Note: This is meant to be executed using the -r flag.


Try it here:

if('\0' == "\0")
{
	$argv = Array($s = 0, prompt());
	function preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $subject)
	{
		$regexp = new RegExp($pattern.replace(new RegExp('~', 'g'), ''), 'g');
		return $subject.replace($regexp, $replacement.split('\0').join('$&'));
	}
	
	function printf($string)
	{
		console.log($string);
	}
	
	function ord($chr)
	{
		return $chr.charCodeAt(0);
	}
}
else
{
    if(!isset($argv))
    {
        $argv = array('', '++*+');
    }
}

eval(preg_replace('~.~','$s=($s\0(2-ord("\0")%11%3))|0;',$argv[1]));printf($s);

Or try on: http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/7d2adc2a500268c011222d8d953d9b837f2312aa

Differences:

  • Instead of echo$s, I'm using sprintf($s). Both perform the same action on numbers. Since this is just for testing, it is fine.
  • In case there's no passed argument, it will run as if you passed ++*+ as the first argument, which should show 5.

PHP, 104 102 82 bytes

First version with eval:

$i=0;while($c<9999)eval('$i'.['+'=>'++','-'=>'--','*'=>'*=2','/'=>'>>=1'][$argv[1]{$c++}].';');echo$i;

Second version with ternary operators:

while($o=ord($argv[1]{$c++}))$i=$o<43?$i*2:($o<44?$i+1:($o<46?$i-1:$i>>1));echo$i;

Takes the input string as first argument from the command line.

This "only" works for input strings shorter than 10,000 characters - which should be plenty. Tested with all the test cases, unfortunately can't save on the initialization in the beginning. Second version works with strings of any length and without initialization. :-)

The main element is the eval function which manipulates $i based on a map of arithmetic operations, which are pretty straightforward except for the division. PHP returns a float when using / and intdiv is too many bytes, so we do a right-shift.

Updates

  1. Saved 2 bytes by shortening $i=$i>>1 to $i>>=1 for integer division.
  2. Threw out eval in favor of ternary operators.

  right = T)                                     # Right to left = True 

Strategy is to refine the +, -, % operators. Split the string then parse the string into a long list of functions, to be fed into Reduce()'s accumulator.

Couldn't golf it anymore. If someone can get b=body<- to work, there could be a few bytes of savings (refine every function with b after "-"="+"="/"="*"). Initially tried to substitute and parse eval, but the order of operations and parentheses were terrifying.
