224. Basic Calculator

Hard

Given a string s representing a valid expression, implement a basic calculator to evaluate it, and return the result of the evaluation.

Note: You are not allowed to use any built-in function which evaluates strings as mathematical expressions, such as eval().

Example 1:

Input: s = “1 + 1”

Output: 2

Example 2:

Input: s = “ 2-1 + 2 “

Output: 3

Example 3:

Input: s = “(1+(4+5+2)-3)+(6+8)”

Output: 23
