> Summary: change the order of operations in a math formula with only addition (a) and multiplication (m) to having addition operations first and mulitplication operations second.
Sample Input:
2m3a19m2a38m1
Sample Output:
1760
Explanation:
2*(3+19)*(2+38)*1 = 1760
> Code Concept:
>
> Add `(` and `)` around the numbers that should be added and change `a` to `+` and `m` to `*`
>
> Then plug into python calculator to solve
```
