So, I asked a similar question the other day, related to the same subject, asking how could I, as a general concept, input a string in my code, and someone told me I should look into the eval() function. So I did. I rewrote my code from C# into Java, and now I have:

var a : String = null;
var b : String = null;
var z : int;
var law : String;

function Update () {
    System.Convert.ToInt32(a);
    System.Convert.ToInt32(b);
    z = eval(law);
}

function OnGUI() {
       GUI.Label(new Rect(300, 10, 200, 20), "a");
       GUI.Label(new Rect(300, 30, 200, 20), "b");
       GUI.Label(new Rect(300, 50, 200, 20), "law");
       a = GUI.TextField(new Rect(10, 10, 200, 20), a, 25);
       b = GUI.TextField(new Rect(10, 30, 200, 20), b, 25);
       law = GUI.TextField(new Rect(10, 50, 200, 20), law, 25);

       gameObject.GetComponent(GUIText).text = System.Convert.ToString(z);
       }

My problem is I get these errors:

1.

FormatException: Input string was not in the correct format System.Int32.Parse (System.String s) System.Convert.ToInt32 (System.String value) Kalculator.Update () (at Assets/Kalculator.js:9)

2.

I also tried int.parseInt(a)/(b) instead of System.Convert, I get the same errors. Any help is gladly welcome.

Maybe I am doing this totally wrong. What I'm trying to do is input 3 strings: a, b, and law. a and b are ints and law is what they do. For example, if I were to input:

a=3 b=5 law=a*b + 1

I should get 16. Anyways, I'm really interested in how this can be implemented. Thank you in advance for all your help.
