I try to upload my solution for the gold-challenge but I don’t know how…
Posting code is pretty easy: Copy and paste it between a pair of three back ticks:
```
CODE
```
For example:
struct JimmyGiggle {
void go () {
print ("Hoot Hoot!")
}
}
Thanks ibex10, I will try it later.
Best regards,
Arthur.

I took a different approach, breaking up the parser into two separate parsing functions, one for multiplication & division, and one for addition & subtraction. I also added a peekNextToken function to look ahead at the next token without “consuming” it (necessary to determine when we’ve hit the end of a string of multiplication & division and need to return the result).
func peekNextToken() -> Token?
{
guard position < tokens.count else
{
return nil
}
let token = tokens[position]
return token
}
func parse() throws -> Int
{
var value = try parseMultiplyDivide()
while let token = getNextToken()
{
switch token
{
case .plus:
let nextNumber = try parseMultiplyDivide()
value += nextNumber
case .minus:
let nextNumber = try parseMultiplyDivide()
value -= nextNumber
case .multiply, .divide, .number:
throw Parser.Error.invalidToken(token, position)
}
}
return value
}
func parseMultiplyDivide() throws -> Int
{
// require a number first
var value = try getNumber()
while let token = peekNextToken()
{
switch token
{
case .plus, .minus:
return value
case .multiply:
getNextToken()
let nextNumber = try getNumber()
value *= nextNumber
case .divide:
getNextToken()
let nextNumber = try getNumber()
value /= nextNumber
case .number:
throw Parser.Error.invalidToken(token, position)
}
}
return value
}
Wow - This is great! I really like the “^” pointing at the character for the Silver challenge!
Thanks!
In your func parseMultiplyDivide where you switch on plus and minus, does ‘return value’ mean that we just return the ‘value’ we get at the beginning of the function?
also for the func peekNextToken it looks to peek at the next token by checking to make sure that we still have tokens remaining and to get the token and its position?
If it’s a single number followed by a ‘+’ or ‘-’, then yes, it just returns the number. Otherwise it performs the multiplication or division with the next number, and keeps on going until it hits a plus or minus, at which point it returns the result of the multiplications & divisions.
Yes, it does the same thing as getNextToken but without incrementing position.
