Passing arthmatic(+ , -, *, /) operation in string

Question

ans = 2 + 3;
console.log(`ans`, ans); // 5 

I know this will give the sum of 2 + 3 which is 5 but is there a way I can pass the arithmetic operation(+,-,*,/) in a string?

Eg:

let operation =  '+'; // it can be +, -, *, / 

let ans = 2 operation 3; // how I can do this
console.log(`ans`, ans); // 5
