The objective of this task is to parse in a difficult [[wp:polynomial|polynomial]], and generate a "pretty" representation of the polynomial in Unicode.
In the target language define a "

There are (at least) three possible ways of achieving this task.
Line 49:
* Using a built-in parsing/formatting library.
* Coding a custom polynomial parsing routing.
Either one, or all of these approaches are
