Write a python function perform$\_$arithmetic$\_$operation to perform basic arithmetic operations on two numbers. The function takes $3$ inputs: num$1,$ num$2,$ and symbol in which symbol denotes the particular arithmetic operation to be performed on the numbers num$1$ and num$2.$ The function should then calculate and return the result.

The arithmetic operations and their corresponding symbols are:

Arithmetic operation symbol

Addition $($i$.$e num$1+$ num$2)\text{'}+\text{'}$

Subtraction $($i$.$e num$1-$ num$2)\text{'}-\text{'}$

Multiplication $($i$.$e num$1*$ num$2)\text{'}*\text{'}$

Division $($i$.$e num$1/$num$2)\text{'}/\text{'}$

Note that the function should handle division by zero and invalid input $($which corresponds to symbol being anything other than the four symbols listed above$)$ gracefully by returning $-1.$
