# My Little Eval
My Little Eval is a lightweight Rust library for evaluating mathematical expressions. It provides a simple and intuitive way to parse and calculate mathematical expressions in your Rust programs.
# Features
- Parsing and evaluation of mathematical expressions
- Supported [Types](https://docs.rs/my-little-eval/latest/my_little_eval/type_enum/enum.Type.html) integer (`i32`), float (`f64`) and strings (`String`)
- Support for basic arithmetic operations (`+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `%`)
- **Parentheses** for controlling operator precedence
- `Variable` substitution
### Supported Operations
| Type | Type | + | - | * | / | % |
|---------|--------|---|---|---|---|---|
| Int | Int |✔️ |✔️ |✔️|✔️ |✔️|
| Int | Float |✔️ |✔️ |✔️|✔️ |✔️|
| Int | String |✔️ |❌ |✔️|❌ |❌|
| Float | Float | ✔️|✔️ |✔️|✔️ |✔️|
| Float | Int | ✔️|✔️ |✔️|✔️ |✔️|

# Installation
Add the following line to your `Cargo.toml` file
```toml
[dependencies]
my-little-eval = "0.1.0"
```
or run
```sh
cargo add my-little-eval
```
# Examples
### Lookup the [`Documentation`](https://docs.rs/my-little-eval/latest) for more infos!
```rust
use std::collections::HashMap;
use my_little_eval::{eval, vars_init, type_enum::Type};
let mut variables = vars_init();
// Inserting variables into the HashMap
variables.insert("x".to_string(), Type::Int(42));
variables.insert("y".to_string(), Type::Float(3.14));
// Using the `eval` function to evaluate an equation
let equation = "2 * x + y";
let result = eval(equation, Some(&variables));
assert_eq!(result, Ok(Type::from("87.14")));
```
# Git Clone or Fork
If u **clone** or **fork** this git u can test the library with the included main.rs file. It contains a little CLI Shell wrapper around it.
```sh
$ cargo run

run help for instructions
```
Run help for instructions
```sh
>>>help
help page:
Define a variable with the let keyword eg. let hallo = 2
Evaluate a term eg. ( 1 + hallo ) * 2
Quit the program with command q || quit
Print out all variables with command **vars**
Print this help page
>>>
```
## Examples
```rust
>>>let a = 5
>>>let b = 7 * 2
>>>let c = a + b
>>>c
res: i32 = 19
>>>res * c
res: i32 = 361
>>>(2 * (777 / 12))
res: i32 = 128
>>>let hallo = hi
>>>hallo * a
res: String = "hihihihihi"
>>>let foo = 7.5
>>>let bar = 3.5
>>>foo % bar
res: f64 = 0.5
```
