C question

[chriscpritchard]

If I have a mathematical function saved in a string, like:

(x+3)^3+x+24x-3+x^(3+24x)+sin(x)

would it be possible to convert it into something useable by C (math.h functions) such as:

pow(x+3,3)+x+24*x-3+pow(x,3+24x)+sin(x)

if it is, could someone please point me in the right direction

Thanks
