01 what the model was asked
Create calc.py with exactly one public function:
evaluate(expr: str) -> float
Evaluate an arithmetic expression containing numbers (integers or decimals), the binary operators + - * /, unary minus, parentheses, and arbitrary whitespace. Normal precedence: * and / bind tighter than + and -; operators of equal precedence associate left to right. Division is true division. Examples: evaluate("2+3*4") == 14, evaluate("(2+3)*4") == 20, evaluate("2*-3") == -6.
You must parse the expression yourself: using eval() or exec() is forbidden and is checked by the test suite. Use only the Python standard library.
