_mex_ a parser/evaluator for simple mathematical expressions, with _no_ dependencies at all. Currently, it supports only a _tiny_ amount of syntax. Here are some valid expressions: ``` >> 10 10 >> 10 - 3 * 10 -20 >> π = 3.1415926536 3.1415926536 >> 5 * π 15.707963268 ``` And that's it, for now. It supports the following operators: `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `=`. But it's easy to add more (by editing the source). The crate can be used as a binary or a library. The binary is a REPL, where you enter single expressions line by line and get the result given back to you. An example of the library is below: ```rust use mex::parser; use mex::evaluator; use mex::evaluator::context; use mex::evaluator::object; fn main() { let input = "2 * x"; let mut parse = parser::Parser::new(input); let mut context = context::Context::new(); context.set(&String::from("x"), object::Object::Number(13.5)); match parse.parse() { Ok(node) => { match evaluator::eval_node_in(node, &mut context) { Ok(result) => println!("{}", result), Err(err) => println!("eval error: {:?}", err), } } Err(e) => println!("parse error: {:?}", e), }; } ``` In the future, I'd like to add these things: - Simple API for simple uses - e.g. `mex::evaluate("1 + 2")` → `3` - Functions - e.g. `f(x, y) = x + y` - e.g. `f(2, 3)` → `5` - Customisation / options - Probably via bitflags - Things like which operators are allowed, if you're allowed to define variables, etc... - Builtins - e.g. `π`, `e`, `sin(θ)` - Going back to the last point: builtins should be optional - Multiple expressions in one - e.g. `5 + {1, 2, 3}` → `6`, `7`, and `8` - They would be returned in a hash set, probably - Symbolic Expressions - e.g. `'x = a + b'` (maybe with different delimiters) - Can be either equations (i.e. with equals), or just simple expressions - `where` clause - e.g. `'a + b' where a = 2, b = 10` → `12` - `solve ... for` - e.g. `solve 'a = x + b' for x` → `'x = a - b'` - e.g. `(solve 'a = x + b' for x) where a = 5, b = 2` → `3` - e.g. `solve 'x^2 + 3x + 2' for x` → `(x + 1)(x + 2)` - Maybe even integration/differentiation
