The Regular Expression which helps you here is
"(?<=[-+*/()])|(?=[-+*/()])"
and of course, you need to avoid unwanted spaces.
Here we go,
String expr = "(5 + 3) * 12 / 3";
.
. // Your inputs
.
String arr[] = expr.replaceAll("\\s+", "").split("(?<=[-+*/()])|(?=[-+*/()])");
for (String s : arr) {
System.out.println("Element : " + s);
}
String expr = "(5 + 3) * 12 / 3";
.
. // Your inputs
.
String arr[] = expr.replaceAll("\\s+", "").split("(?<=[-+*/()])|(?=[-+*/()])");
for (String s : arr)
{
System.out.println("Element : " + s);
}
