  • SIMPLIFYING COMPLEX INPUT STRINGS
    Publication number: 20200065364
    Abstract: Simplification of complex input strings is utilized for user convenience, such that the user may input a complex input string in lieu of performing an external calculation and inputting the result thereof. The simplification identifying at least one operator in the complex input string indicative of a mathematical operation, identifying a first sub-string and a second sub-string in the input string, comparing the first sub-string to an expectation identification associated with the input field to determine a significance of the first sub-string, comparing the first sub-string to a range expectation associated with said significance to determine if the first sub-string meets the range expectation, and calculating a simplified input string by performing the mathematical operation on the first sub-string and the second sub-string.
