Some basic calculations: 8 - 1 = 7, 4 * 4 * 9 = 144, 8 / 4 - 5 = -3, 4 + 3 = 7, 3 / 3 = 1, 9 + 3 = 12, 8 + 1 - 1 = 8, 9 * 4 = 36,
 7 + 5 = 12, 4 * 1 = 4, 7 + 3 = 10, 1 / 1 / 1 = 1, 88 - 30 / 2 = 29, 77 - 77 + 69 = 69, 33 * 69 = 2277, 38 + 49 = 87, 31 + 97 + 28 = 156, 
39 + 64 * 47 = 4841, 23 - 71 / 1 = -48, 20 + 65 = 85, 29 * 54 - 35 = 1531, 18 * 52 = 936, 52 * 27 - 10 = 1394, 18 - 28 + 72 = 62
