@bernardH
Thanks bernardH for your help.

1. Why subtract 2 ?
    It is an euler theoram : for finding Modulo inverse , I have written 
the formula in comments just above the line. ToMod is a big prime number.
    Euler says for (a/b) mod P where P is big prime number  == (a * (b ^ 
(P-2))mod P) mod P
    That is why 2 comes there.
2. EulerDivNonMemoized takes x and p and calculates x ^ p ; it assumes that 
p+2 is going to be a Prime number > x
3. I am taking part in programming contest and their enviroment at 
https://www.hackerrank.com/environment i would not have access to these 
libraries.
4. The whole problem is of creating abstract syntax tree .. I am creating 
it recursively. After AST , problem would be sufficiently simpler. 
5. As a design rule you are right about make-calculator-list returning 
tokens rather than strings.. but does that really cost me in computation ? 
because i would have to do that work sooner or later..
6. I think you are right about using long rather than int. But i am not 
getting wrong answers but timeout problems .. but i would definitely do 
this change.
7. Thinking non recursively makes it difficult. I mean grammar was 
recursive so it was much easier to code it in recursive nature. But 
definitely recursion is going to do StackOverflow at larger inputs. You are 
right about that.


Q. Are seq passing across functions can be a bottleneck ? i mean it would 
only the reference of seqs that would have been passed around because 
everything is immutable.


@Anil I have shared the code here :
