Thank you for the response but i managed to get through it. atleast i think it works. It wasn't too too hard. i didn't use my teachers hints but is im pretty sure recursive so he should accept it.
heres the code if anyone wants to look at it, its pretty rough with no comments and i didn't make too great an effort to compact it so there may be a lot of redundancy:
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

//Swing components//
JPanel Panel;
JTextField Equation;
JButton Calculate;
JTextField Output;
//--------------//
//String and string track//
int get = 0;
String Eq;
//-------------//
RecursionCalc(){
//GUI//
Panel = new JPanel();
Equation = new JTextField(10);
Output = new JTextField(10);
Calculate = new JButton("Calculate");
Calculate.addActionListener(new CalculateListener());
Panel.add(Equation);
Panel.add(Calculate);
Panel.add(Output);
add(Panel);
pack();
setVisible(true);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
//--------------//

}

System.out.println("P3");

}

}
}
edit: now it uses doubles
edit 2: added comments, and it need to be string literals
