Due: July 5th 5:30pm


Create a simple class in Java that is located in the package:

edu.uchicago.cs.Homework1

The class should be named MyClass.

The class should prompt for input in the form of a numeric expression (taking precisely two operands), and should tokenize the text entered, and should then print out the result of the calculation.

For example, if the following text is input:

2 + 2

The result displayed would be:

4

You may use if statements or case statements to implement the actual calculation engine.  You do not need to handle any operators other than (+, -, x, /) (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division).  You do NOT need to handle parentheses or compound statements. 

You SHOULD, however, instantiate and instance of an appropriate java.lang.* class to handle each number input.  For example, you should instantiate the following classes in the case of the the following input:

2:        instantiate an Integer class
2.2:     instantiate a Double class

Then, you should perform the operation on the two numbers and print the result.
