Implement a basic calculator to evaluate a simple expression string. The expression string contains only non-negative integers, ‘+’, ‘-’, ‘*’, ‘/’ operators, and open ‘(’ and closing parentheses ‘)’. The integer division should truncate toward zero. You may assume that the given expression is always valid. All intermediate results will be in the range of [-231, 231 - 1]. Note: You are not allowed to use any built-in function which evaluates strings as mathematical expressions, such as eval()....

You are given a string expression representing a Lisp-like expression to return the integer value of. The syntax for these expressions is given as follows. -An expression is either an integer, let expression, add expression, mult expression, or an assigned variable. Expressions always evaluate to a single integer. (An integer could be positive or negative.) A let expression takes the form “(let v1 e1 v2 e2 … vn en expr)”, where let is always the string “let”, then there are one or more pairs of alternating variables and expressions, meaning that the first variable v1 is assigned the value of the expression e1, the second variable v2 is assigned the value of the expression e2, and so on sequentially; and then the value of this let expression is the value of the expression expr....
