text: Minimum and Maximum values of an expression with * and + | Utility method to check whether a character is operator or not ; method prints minimum and maximum value obtainable from an expression ; store operator and numbers in different vectors ; storing last number in vector ; initializing minval and maxval 2D array ; initializing main diagonal by num values ; looping similar to matrix chain multiplication and updating both 2D arrays ; if current operator is ' + ' , updating tmp variable by addition ; if current operator is ' * ' , updating tmp variable by multiplication ; updating array values by tmp variables ; last element of first row will store the result ; Driver code to test above methods
code: function isOperator ( op ) { return ( op == ' ' op == ' ' ) ; } function printMinAndMaxValueOfExp ( exp ) { let num = [ ] ; let opr = [ ] ; let tmp = " " ; for ( let i = 0 ; i < exp . length ; i ++ ) { if ( isOperator ( exp [ i ] ) ) { opr . push ( exp [ i ] ) ; num . push ( parseInt ( tmp ) ) ; tmp = " " ; } else { tmp += exp [ i ] ; } } num . push ( parseInt ( tmp ) ) ; let len = num . length ; let minVal = new Array ( len ) ; let maxVal = new Array ( len ) ; for ( let i = 0 ; i < len ; i ++ ) { minVal [ i ] = new Array ( len ) ; maxVal [ i ] = new Array ( len ) ; for ( let j = 0 ; j < len ; j ++ ) { minVal [ i ] [ j ] = Number .
