If 2 or more operators are entered consecutively, the operation performed should be the last operator entered (excluding the negative (-) sign.
The sequence “5 * - + 5” = should produce an output of “10”

This challenge is frustrating due to being contrived as heck. I check on 3 calculators. Google says the answer is -25. My phone just uses the last operation and my scientific calculator just gives a syntax error. This test case is just unfair.
This is exactly what you are being asked to implement.
Yeah except from when it’s subtraction. Which is why I say it’s contrived.
It’s not a negative sign in this context. If it was “5 * + -5”, then the last operator would be “+” and it would be “plus negative five”.
Nevermind. I just needed to add an else if statement just for that situation. Everything passed now. Thanks for the replies they nudged me in the right direction.
Congratulations on working through a tough problem! Happy coding.
