Create a constructor function Calculator that creates “extendable” calculator objects.

The task consists of two parts.

First, implement the method calculate(str) that takes a string like "1 + 2" in the format “NUMBER operator NUMBER” (space-delimited) and returns the result. Should understand plus + and minus -.

Usage example:
```
let calc = new Calculator;

alert( calc.calculate("3 + 7") ); // 10
```
Then add the method addMethod(name, func) that teaches the calculator a new operation. It takes the operator name and the two-argument function func(a,b) that implements it.

For instance, let’s add the multiplication *, division / and power **:
```
let powerCalc = new Calculator;
powerCalc.addMethod("*", (a, b) => a * b);
powerCalc.addMethod("/", (a, b) => a / b);
powerCalc.addMethod("**", (a, b) => a ** b);

let result = powerCalc.calculate("2 ** 3");
alert( result ); // 8
```

No parentheses or complex expressions in this task.
The numbers and the operator are delimited with exactly one space.
There may be error handling if you’d like to add it.

Open a sandbox with tests.

Please note how methods are stored. They are simply added to this.methods property.
All tests and numeric conversions are done in the calculate method. In future it may be extended to support more complex expressions.

          function Calculator() {

  this.methods = {
    "-": (a, b) => a - b,
    "+": (a, b) => a + b
  };

  this.calculate = function(str) {

    let split = str.split(' '),
      a = +split[0],
      op = split[1],
      b = +split[2];

    if (!this.methods[op] || isNaN(a) || isNaN(b)) {
      return NaN;
    }

    return this.methods[op](a, b);
  };

  this.addMethod = function(name, func) {
    this.methods[name] = func;
  };
}
