Question

I see your BIDMAS and raise you a BADMIS

Challenge

Given a set of numbers with operators between them: "5 + 4 * 9 / 3 - 8", return all the possible results of the expression for every permutation of the order of basic operations: [/, *, +, -].

Rules

• Standard loopholes forbidden
• I/O
  • Input must be ordered with infix operations, but however that is easiest (string or array)
  • You are not required to support unary operators (e.g. "-3 * 8 / +2")
  • Integers can be replaced by floats for languages that implicitly parse type (e.g. 45 ⟶ 45.0)
  • Output must be all of the possible results of the expression, no specified format or order
• All of the inputs are valid (e.g. do not need to deal with "7 / 3 + *"). This also means that you will never need to divide by zero.
• Operators are all left-associative so "20 / 4 / 2" = "(20 / 4) / 2"
• This is Code Golf so fewest number of bytes wins

Test Cases (With explanation)

• "2 + 3 * 4" = [14, 20]
  • 2 + (3 * 4) ⟶ 2 + (12) ⟶ 14
  • (2 + 3) * 4 ⟶ (5) * 4 ⟶ 20
• "18 / 3 * 2 - 1" = [11, 2, 6]
  • ((18 / 3) * 2) - 1 ⟶ ((6) * 2) - 1 ⟶ (12) - 1 ⟶ 11
  • (18 / 3) * (2 - 1) ⟶ (6) * (1) ⟶ 6
  • (18 / (3 * 2)) - 1 ⟶ (18 / (6)) - 1 ⟶ (3) - 1 ⟶ 2
  • 18 / (3 * (2 - 1)) ⟶ 18 / (3 * (1)) ⟶ 6
  • 18 / ((3 * 2) - 1) ⟶ 18 / 5 ⟶ 3.6

Test Cases (Without explanation)

• "45 / 8 + 19 / 45 * 3" = [6.891666666666667, 18.141666666666666, 0.11111111111111113, 0.01234567901234568, 0.01234567901234568, 5.765740740740741]
• "2 + 6 * 7 * 2 + 6 / 4" = [112 196 23 87.5]

Takes a string with a space after any operators and returns a set of numbers. This mostly works by substituting all instances of n op n with the eval'ed result for all permutations of the operators.

A pair of links. The second one is the main link, and takes as its argument a Jelly list of floats/integers interspersed with the operators as characters. This is a flattened version of the way Jelly takes its input when run as a full program with command line arguments. The return value of the link is a list of list of single member lists, each of which is a possible value for the expression.

Explanation

Helper link

Takes a list of floats/integers alternating with operators (as characters) as its left argument and an operator as a character as its right argument; returns the input list after evaluating numbers separated by the relevant operator, working left to right.

œṡ⁹                  | Split once by the right argument (the operator currently being processed)
                   ? | If:
                  $  | - Following as a monad
                L    |   - Length
                 ’   |   - Decremented by 1
              ʋ      | Then, following as a dyad:
   ¹                 | - Identity function (used because of Jelly’s ordering of dyadic links at the start of a dyadic chain)
    j       ɗ        | - Join with the following as a dyad, using the original left and right arguments for this chain:
     ṪḢƭ€            |   - Tail of first item (popping from list) and head from second item (again popping from list); extracts the numbers that were either side of the operator, while removing them from the split list
         j           |   - Joined with the operator
          ŒV         |   - Evaluate as Python (rather than V because of Jelly’s handling of decimals with a leading zero)
            ß        | - Recursive call to this helper link (in case there are further of the same operator)
               F     | Else: Flatten

Main link

Takes a list of floats/integers alternating with operators (as characters)

Ḋ         | Remove first item (which will be a number)
 m2       | Every 2nd item, starting with the first (i.e. the operators)
   Q      | Uniquify
    Œ!    | Permutations
      烀 | For each permuted list of operators, reduce using the helper link and with the input list as the starting point

Takes input with ints formatted as floats, as per "Integers can be replaced by floats for languages that implicitly parse type".

Answer 8

Julia 1.2, 88 (82) bytes

f(t)=get(t,(),[f.([t[1:i-1];t[i+1](t[i],t[i+2]);t[i+3:end]] for i=1:2:length(t)-2)...;])

julia> f([2, +, 3, *, 4])
2-element Array{Int64,1}:
 20
 14

julia> f([18, /, 3, *, 2, -, 1])
6-element Array{Float64,1}:
 11.0
  6.0
  2.0
  3.6
  6.0
  6.0

Takes a tape in the form of a vector of numbers and infix functions, evaluates each single function call and recursively passes each resulting tape back to itself until only a single number is left. Unfortunately, get(t, (), ...) doesn't work properly in Julia 1.0, so a newer version is needed.

Six bytes can be saved, if a bunch of nested arrays is acceptable as an output:

f(t)=get(t,(),f.([t[1:i-1];t[i+1](t[i],t[i+2]);t[i+3:end]] for i=1:2:length(t)-2))

Output:

julia> f([18, /, 3, *, 2, -, 1])
3-element Array{Array{Array{Float64,1},1},1}:
 [[11.0], [6.0]]
 [[2.0], [3.6]]
