# Arithmetic Expression Evaluator
Implement a file **`solution.py`** containing a function:
```python
def evaluate(expr: str) -> float:
...
```
Evaluate an arithmetic expression given as a string and return its value as a
`float`.
Supported syntax:
- Binary operators `+`, `-`, `*`, `/` with standard precedence
(`*` and `/` bind tighter than `+` and `-`) and left-to-right associativity.
- Parentheses `(` ... `)` for grouping.
- Unary plus and minus, e.g. `-3`, `-(2 + 1)`, `2 * -3`.
- Integer and float literals, e.g. `42`, `3.14`, `.5`, `10.`.
- Arbitrary surrounding / internal whitespace, which is ignored.
Requirements:
- Return the numeric result as a `float`. For example
`evaluate("1 + 2 * 3") == 7.0` and `evaluate("(1 + 2) * 3") == 9.0`.
- Implement a real parser/evaluator that respects precedence and parentheses.
**Do not** use `eval`, `exec`, or similar (the harness may inspect for this).
- Raise `ValueError` on malformed input. Malformed includes: empty / whitespace-only
input, unbalanced parentheses, a missing operand or operator (e.g. `"1 +"`,
`"1 2"`, `"* 3"`), and unexpected characters.
- Division by zero should raise an error (a `ZeroDivisionError` or `ValueError`
is acceptable).
Examples:
```python
evaluate("2 + 3 * 4") # 14.0
evaluate("(2 + 3) * 4") # 20.0
evaluate("10 / 4") # 2.5
evaluate("-3 + 2") # -1.0
evaluate("2 * (1 + -1.5)") # -1.0
```

The user wants an arithmetic expression evaluator in Python.
The function signature is `def evaluate(expr: str) -> float:`.
It needs to handle:
- Binary operators: `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`
- Precedence: `*` and `/` higher than `+` and `-`
- Associativity: Left-to-right
- Parentheses: `(` and `)`
- Unary plus and minus: `-3`, `-(2+1)`, `2 * -3`
- Literals: integers and floats (`42`, `3.14`, `.5`, `10.`)
- Whitespace: ignored
- Error handling: `ValueError` for malformed input, `ZeroDivisionError` or `ValueError` for division by zero.
- No `eval` or `exec`.
I need to implement a parser. A recursive descent parser is a good choice for this grammar.
Grammar:
```
expr -> term (( '+' | '-' ) term)*
term -> factor (( '*' | '/' ) factor)*
factor -> ( '+' | '-' ) factor | primary
primary -> NUMBER | '(' expr ')'
NUMBER -> integer or float literal
```
Let's refine the grammar to handle unary operators correctly.
Unary operators should bind tightly to the factor.
`factor` can be a unary operator followed by a `factor`, or a `primary`.
`primary` is a number or a parenthesized expression.
Let's define the tokens.
I can write a simple tokenizer or parse directly. Given the constraints, a tokenizer might be cleaner.
Tokens:
- `NUMBER`
- `PLUS` (`+`)
- `MINUS` (`-`)
- `MULT` (`*`)
- `DIV` (`/`)
- `LPAREN` (`(`)
- `RPAREN` (`)`)
- `EOF`
Tokenizer logic:
- Skip whitespace.
- If digit or dot, parse number.
- If operator or paren, return token.
- If unexpected char, raise ValueError.
Number parsing:
- Can start with digit or dot.
- Can contain digits and at most one dot.
- Examples: `42`, `3.14`, `.5`, `10.`.
- Note: `.` alone is not a number? The prompt says `.5` and `10.` are valid. `.` might be ambiguous or invalid. Usually `.` is not a valid number on its own in standard arithmetic, but let's assume standard float parsing rules. `float()` handles `.5` and `10.`. It raises ValueError for `.`.
Parser logic (Recursive Descent):
Global index or iterator over tokens.
`parse_expr()`:
`left = parse_term()`
`while current token is PLUS or MINUS:`
`op = current token`
`consume()`
`right = parse_term()`
`if op is PLUS: left = left + right`
`else: left = left - right`
`return left`
`parse_term()`:
`left = parse_factor()`
`while current token is MULT or DIV:`
`op = current token`
`consume()`
`right = parse_factor()`
`if op is MULT: left = left * right`
`else:`
`if right == 0: raise ZeroDivisionError`
`left = left / right`
`return left`
`parse_factor()`:
`if current token is PLUS:`
`consume()`
`return parse_factor()`
`if current token is MINUS:`
`consume()`
`return -parse_factor()`
`return parse_primary()`
`parse_primary()`:
`if current token is NUMBER:`
`val = token value`
`consume()`
`return val`
`if current token is LPAREN:`
`consume()`
`val = parse_expr()`
`if current token is not RPAREN: raise ValueError`
`consume()`
`return val`
`raise ValueError` (unexpected token)
After parsing, check if there are remaining tokens (except EOF). If so, malformed input (e.g. `1 + 2 3`).
Wait, the prompt mentions "missing operand or operator (e.g. `"1 +"`, `"1 2"`, `"* 3"`)" should raise ValueError.
My parser structure handles `1 +` by expecting a term after `+`. If EOF is reached, `parse_term` will fail or return something?
Actually, `parse_term` calls `parse_factor`. `parse_factor` calls `parse_primary`. `parse_primary` expects NUMBER or LPAREN. If EOF, it raises ValueError.
`1 2`: `parse_expr` parses `1`. Then loop checks for `+` or `-`. Next token is `2` (NUMBER). Loop doesn't run. Returns `1`.
But there is a remaining token `2`.
So after `parse_expr` returns, I must check if `current token` is EOF. If not, raise ValueError.
Let's refine the tokenizer.
Input string `expr`.
Index `pos`.
Helper functions:
`peek()`: look at current char without consuming.
`consume()`: get char and advance.
`skip_whitespace()`: advance while whitespace.
Token types:
`NUM`, `ADD`, `SUB`, `MUL`, `DIV`, `LP`, `RP`, `END`.
Let's implement the tokenizer as a generator or a class. A class with a `next_token` method is easy.
Handling numbers:
Accumulate characters. If char is digit or dot, append.
Be careful with multiple dots? `float()` handles it? No, `float("1.2.3")` raises ValueError.
So I can just accumulate valid number chars and let `float()` validate, or validate manually.
Valid chars for number: `0-9`, `.`.
If I encounter a char that is not digit/dot while parsing a number, stop.
But wait, `1.2.3` -> `1.2` is a number, then `.3`? No, `.` is not an operator.
Actually, standard tokenization: if current char is digit or dot, consume as many digits/dots as possible.
But `.` is ambiguous. Is it a decimal point or a typo?
If I see `1.2.3`, `float("1.2.3")` fails.
If I see `.5`, `float(".5")` works.
If I see `10.`, `float("10.")` works.
If I see `.`, `float(".")` fails.
So, logic:
If char is digit or dot:
start collecting.
while next char is digit or dot:
collect.
try float(s). If fail, raise ValueError.
return NUM token.
Wait, `1.2.3` -> collects `1.2.3`. `float` fails. Correct.
What about `1 . 2`? Space separates them. `1` is NUM, `.` is... unexpected?
If `.` is not part of a number, it's an unexpected character.
So, if char is digit or dot, we *must* parse a number.
If the resulting string is not a valid float, raise ValueError.
What about `1. 2`?
`1.` is parsed as number `1.0`. Then space. Then `2` is number `2.0`.
Expression `1. 2` -> `1.0 2.0`.
Parser: `parse_expr` -> `parse_term` -> `parse_factor` -> `parse_primary` -> returns `1.0`.
Back in `parse_term`, loop checks for `*` or `/`. Next token is `2.0` (NUM). Loop doesn't run.
Back in `parse_expr`, loop checks for `+` or `-`. Next token is `2.0`. Loop doesn't run.
Returns `1.0`.
Check remaining tokens: `2.0` is left. Raise ValueError.
This handles `"1 2"` correctly.
What about `"* 3"`?
`parse_expr` -> `parse_term` -> `parse_factor` -> `parse_primary`.
`parse_primary` expects NUM or LP. Current token is `*` (MUL).
Raises ValueError. Correct.
What about `"1 +"`?
`parse_expr`
…[18239 chars elided]…
oat` fails.
Is it possible that `1.2.3` is valid in some context? No.
Is it possible `1.2` is a number and `.3` is... no.
So strict collection is fine.
However, consider `1.2.3` -> `float` raises ValueError.
But maybe I should check if the number string is valid before calling float?
`float` is the standard way.
One edge case: `float('')` raises ValueError.
My loop `while i < n and ...` ensures buffer is not empty if entered.
Wait, if `c` is digit or dot, buffer starts with that char. So not empty.
So `float` won't get empty string.
What about `1.`? `float("1.")` -> 1.0.
What about `.1`? `float(".1")` -> 0.1.
What about `.`? `float(".")` -> ValueError.
My tokenizer: if `c` is `.`, buffer starts with `.`.
If next char is not digit/dot, buffer is `.`.
`float(".")` raises ValueError.
So `.` alone is rejected.
Is `.` alone malformed? Yes.
Is `1.` valid? Yes.
Is `.1` valid? Yes.
So this logic holds.
Wait, what if input is `1. 2`?
`1.` parsed as 1.0.
Space skipped.
`2` parsed as 2.0.
Tokens: `NUM(1.0)`, `NUM(2.0)`.
Parser: `parse_expr` -> `parse_term` -> `parse_factor` -> `parse_primary` returns 1.0.
`parse_term` loop checks for `*` or `/`. Next is `NUM(2.0)`. No match.
`parse_expr` loop checks for `+` or `-`. Next is `NUM(2.0)`. No match.
Returns 1.0.
Check remaining tokens: `NUM(2.0)` is present.
Raises ValueError.
Correct.
What about `1 . 2`?
`1` parsed.
Space.
`.` parsed?
If `.` is encountered, it starts a number.
Buffer `.`. Next char space.
Buffer `.`. `float` fails.
Raises ValueError.
Correct.
What about `1.2.3`?
Buffer `1.2.3`. `float` fails.
Raises ValueError.
Correct.
What about `1.2.3.4`?
Fails.
What about `1.2.3` where `.` is meant to be something else?
No, `.` is not an operator.
One tricky case: `1.2e3`.
`e` is not digit/dot.
Tokenizer stops at `e`.
Buffer `1.2`. `float` ok. Token `NUM(1.2)`.
Next char `e`.
`e` is not digit/dot, not operator, not paren.
Raises ValueError "Unexpected character: e".
Correct.
What about `1.2.3` where user meant `1.2` then `.` then `3`?
But `.` is not an operator. SoSelf-repair attempts

I'll stick to chars for simplicity, or named tuples.\nActually, using a list of strings is fine.\n\nLet's refine tokenization:\n```python\ndef tokenize(expr: str):\n tokens = []\n i = 0\n n = len(expr)\n while i < n:\n if expr[i].isspace():\n i += 1\n continue\n if expr[i].isdigit() or expr[i] == '.':\n j = i\n has_dot = False\n while j < n and (expr[j].isdigit() or expr[j] == '.'):\n if expr[j] == '.':\n if has_dot:\n raise ValueError(\"Invalid number\")\n has_dot = True\n j += 1\n # Check for empty number like just \".\"\n if j == i:\n raise ValueError(\"Invalid number\")\n tokens.append(('NUM', float(expr[i:j])))\n i = j\n elif expr[i] in '+-*/()':\n tokens.append(('SYM', expr[i]))\n i += 1\n else:\n raise ValueError(f\"Unexpected character: {expr[i]}\")\n return tokens\n```\n\nParser class or functions with closure over tokens and index.\n```python\ndef evaluate(expr: str) -> float:\n tokens = tokenize(expr)\n pos = [0] # mutable index\n\n def peek():\n if pos[0] < len(tokens):\n return tokens[pos[0]]\n return None\n\n def consume():\n tok = tokens[pos[0]]\n pos[0] += 1\n return tok\n\n def parse_expr():\n left = parse_term()\n while True:\n tok = peek()\n if tok and tok[0] == 'SYM' and tok[1] in '+-':\n op = consume()[1]\n right = parse_term()\n if op == '+':\n left += right\n else:\n left -= right\n else:\n break\n return left\n\n def parse_term():\n left = parse_factor()\n while True:\n tok = peek()\n if tok and tok[0] == 'SYM' and tok[1] in '*/':\n op = consume()[1]\n right = parse_factor()\n if op == '*':\n left *= right\n else:\n if right == 0.0:\n raise ZeroDivisionError(\"Division by zero\")\n left /= right\n else:\n break\n return left\n\n def parse_factor():\n tok = peek()\n if tok and tok[0] == 'SYM' and tok[1] in '+-':\n \n…[19060 chars elided]…\n`tokenize` catches it.\nAll good.\n\nI will produce the final code.\nI'll make sure to handle `ZeroDivisionError` correctly.\nThe code looks clean.\n\nOne minor point: `tokenize` could be a separate function or inside. I'll keep it inside to avoid global scope pollution, though it doesn't matter much.\nI'll format it nicely.\n\n```python\ndef evaluate(expr: str) -> float:\n def tokenize(s: str):\n tokens = []\n i = 0\n n = len(s)\n while i < n:\n if s[i].isspace():\n i += 1\n continue\n if s[i].isdigit() or s[i] == '.':\n j = i\n has_dot = False\n while j < n and (s[j].isdigit() or s[j] == '.'):\n if s[j] == '.':\n if has_dot:\n raise ValueError(\"Invalid number format\")\n has_dot = True\n j += 1\n num_str = s[i:j]\n try:\n tokens.append(('NUM', float(num_str)))\n except ValueError:\n raise ValueError(f\"Invalid number: {num_str}\")\n i = j\n elif s[i] in '+-*/()':\n tokens.append(('SYM', s[i]))\n i += 1\n else:\n raise ValueError(f\"Unexpected character: {s[i]}\")\n return tokens\n\n tokens = tokenize(expr)\n if not tokens:\n raise ValueError(\"Empty expression\")\n\n pos = [0]\n\n def peek():\n if pos[0] < len(tokens):\n return tokens[pos[0]]\n return None\n\n def consume():\n tok = tokens[pos[0]]\n pos[0] += 1\n return tok\n\n def parse_expr():\n left = parse_term()\n while True:\n tok = peek()\n if tok and tok[0] == 'SYM' and tok[1] in '+-':\n op = consume()[1]\n right = parse_term()\n if op == '+':\n left += right\n else:\n left -= right\n else:\n break\n",
