<p>You are given a string <code>s</code> that contains digits <code>0-9</code>, addition symbols <code>&#39;+&#39;</code>, and multiplication symbols <code>&#39;*&#39;</code> <strong>only</strong>, representing a <strong>valid</strong> math expression of <strong>single digit numbers</strong> (e.g., <code>3+5*2</code>). This expression was given to <code>n</code> elementary school students. The students were instructed to get the answer of the expression by following this <strong>order of operations</strong>:</p>

<ol>
	<li>Compute <strong>multiplication</strong>, reading from <strong>left to right</strong>; Then,</li>
	<li>Compute <strong>addition</strong>, reading from <strong>left to right</strong>.</li>
</ol>

<p>You are given an integer array <code>answers</code> of length <code>n</code>, which are the submitted answers of the students in no particular order. You are asked to grade the <code>answers</code>, by following these <strong>rules</strong>:</p>

<ul>
	<li>If an answer <strong>equals</strong> the correct answer of the expression, this student will be rewarded <code>5</code> points;</li>
	<li>Otherwise, if the answer <strong>could be interpreted</strong> as if the student applied the operators <strong>in the wrong order</strong> but had <strong>correct arithmetic</strong>, this student will be rewarded <code>2</code> points;</li>
	<li>Otherwise, this student will be rewarded <code>0</code> points.</li>
</ul>

<p>Return <em>the sum of the points of the students</em>.</p>

<p><strong>Example 1:</strong></p>
<img alt="" src="https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2021/09/17/student_solving_math.png" style="width: 678px; height: 109px;" />
<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;7+3*1*2&quot;, answers = [20,13,42]
<strong>Output:</strong> 7
<strong>Explanation:</strong> As illustrated above, the correct answer of the expression is 13, therefore one student is rewarded 5 points: [20,<u><strong>13</strong></u>,42]
A student might have applied the operators in this wrong order: ((7+3)*1)*2 = 20. Therefore one student is rewarded 2 points: [<u><strong>20</strong></u>,13,42]
The points for the students are: [2,5,0]. The sum of the points is 2+5+0=7.
</pre>

<p><strong>Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;3+5*2&quot;, answers = [13,0,10,13,13,16,16]
<strong>Output:</strong> 19
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The correct answer of the expression is 13, therefore three students are rewarded 5 points each: [<strong><u>13</u></strong>,0,10,<strong><u>13</u></strong>,<strong><u>13</u></strong>,16,16]
A student might have applied the operators in this wrong order: ((3+5)*2 = 16. Therefore two students are rewarded 2 points: [13,0,10,13,13,<strong><u>16</u></strong>,<strong><u>16</u></strong>]
The points for the students are: [5,0,0,5,5,2,2]. The sum of the points is 5+0+0+5+5+2+2=19.
</pre>

<p><strong>Example 3:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;6+0*1&quot;, answers = [12,9,6,4,8,6]
<strong>Output:</strong> 10
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The correct answer of the expression is 6.
If a student had incorrectly done (6+0)*1, the answer would also be 6.
By the rules of grading, the students will still be rewarded 5 points (as they got the correct answer), not 2 points.
The points for the students are: [0,0,5,0,0,5]. The sum of the points is 10.
