[F8] Using Maths Operators Stored in an Array

[Lydecker]

I have an array with the maths operators +, -, /, * stored like so:

symbs[0] = "+";
symbs[1] = "-";
symbs[2] = "*";
symbs[3] = "/";

I have the following two numbers stored in variables:
numb1 = 15
numb2 =5

I want to use add numb1 to numb2 using the addidion operator stored in the array address symbs[0].

What line of code do I need to write to achieve this?

Many thanks!

I don't know if you can do such a thing. What is your reasoning for this?

The only example I can think of (there can be other methods) is this one:

var symbs:Array = ["+","-","*","/"];
var numb1 = 15;
var numb2 = 5;
var res = addNumbers(numb1,numb2,symbs[2]);

trace(res);

function addNumbers(one:Number,two:Number,type:String) {
    switch(type) {
        case "+":
            return (one + two);
        break;
        case "-":
            return (one - two);
        break;
        case "*":
            return (one * two);
        break;
        case "/":
            return (one / two);
        break;
    };
};

Yea, that's similar to what I ended up doing.

Cheers!
