Program for Derivative of a Polynomial

Given a polynomial as a string and a value. Evaluate polynomial’s derivative for the given value. 
Note: The input format is such that there is a white space between a term and the ‘+’ symbol

The derivative of p(x) = ax^n is p'(x) = a*n*x^(n-1)
Also, if p(x) = p1(x) + p2(x) 
Here p1 and p2 are polynomials too 
p'(x) = p1′(x) + p2′(x) 

Input : 3x^3 + 4x^2 + 6x^1 + 89x^0
        2             
Output :58 
Explanation : Derivative of given
polynomial is : 9x^2 + 8x^1 + 6
Now put x = 2
9*4 + 8*2 + 6 = 36 + 16 + 6 = 58  
            
Input : 1x^3
        3
Output : 27

We split the input string into tokens and for each term calculate the derivative separately for each term and add them to get the result.

        coeffStr.push_back(pTerm[i]);
    long long coeff = atol(coeffStr.c_str());

    // Get Power (Skip 2 characters for x and ^)
    string powStr = "";
    for (i = i + 2; i != pTerm.size(); i++)
        powStr.push_back(pTerm[i]);
    long long power = atol(powStr.c_str());

    // For ax^n, we return anx^(n-1)
    return coeff * power * pow(val, power - 1);
