Feature #10: Decode a Message
Implementing the "Decode a Message" feature for our "Operating System" project.
We'll cover the following...
Description
In this feature, we will reverse a message digest function. The message digest function applies a subset of the operators +
, -
, *
, and /
along with some parenthesization to individual digits in the message and converts the subset into the message digest. The message will consist of four integers, each in the range [1, 9]
. The message digest is also an integer.
Note: It is also possible that no combination of these operations may lead to a message digest.
We will be given the array of integers and the message digest. We will be restricted by the following rules:
-
The division operator
/
represents real division, not integer division. -
We cannot use
-
as a unary operator. Every operation is carried out between two numbers. ...
