This can be done, but I feel like this is an exercise in doing something the wrong way. The recursive function would be better off written as returning a double so that you can pass substring components of the expression string and return their outcomes. Doing it as a void method is much more cumbersome, as evidenced by the official solution being over 300 lines long.
