Detailed Description

A class for dynamically evaluating simple numeric expressions.

This class can parse a simple C-style string expression involving floating point numbers, named symbols and functions. The basic arithmetic operations of +, -, *, / are supported, as well as parentheses, and any alphanumeric identifiers are assumed to be named symbols which will be resolved when the expression is evaluated.

Expressions which use identifiers and functions require a subclass of Expression::Scope to be supplied when evaluating them, and this object is expected to be able to resolve the symbol names and perform the functions that are used.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Expression() [1/6]

juce::Expression::Expression ( )

Creates a simple expression with a value of 0.

◆ ~Expression()

juce::Expression::~Expression ( )

Destructor.

◆ Expression() [2/6]

juce::Expression::Expression ( const Expression & other)

Creates a copy of an expression.

◆ Expression() [3/6]

juce::Expression::Expression ( Expression && other)
noexcept

Move constructor

◆ Expression() [4/6]

juce::Expression::Expression ( double constant)
explicit

Creates a simple expression with a specified constant value.

◆ Expression() [5/6]

juce::Expression::Expression ( const String & stringToParse,
String & parseError )

Attempts to create an expression by parsing a string. Any errors are returned in the parseError argument provided.

◆ Expression() [6/6]

juce::Expression::Expression ( Term * t)
explicitprivate

Member Function Documentation

◆ adjustedToGiveNewResult()

Expression juce::Expression::adjustedToGiveNewResult ( double targetValue,
const Scope & scope ) const

Attempts to return an expression which is a copy of this one, but with a constant adjusted to make the expression resolve to a target value.

E.g. if the expression is "x + 10" and x is 5, then asking for a target value of 8 will return the expression "x + 3". Obviously some expressions can't be reversed in this way, in which case they might just be adjusted by adding a constant to the original expression.

Exceptions
Expression::EvaluationError

◆ evaluate() [1/3]

double juce::Expression::evaluate ( ) const

Evaluates this expression, without using a Scope. Without a Scope, no symbols can be used, and only basic functions such as sin, cos, tan, min, max are available. To find out about any errors during evaluation, use the other version of this method which takes a String parameter.

◆ evaluate() [2/3]

double juce::Expression::evaluate ( const Scope & scope) const

Evaluates this expression, providing a scope that should be able to evaluate any symbols or functions that it uses. To find out about any errors during evaluation, use the other version of this method which takes a String parameter.

◆ evaluate() [3/3]

double juce::Expression::evaluate ( const Scope & scope,
String & evaluationError ) const

Evaluates this expression, providing a scope that should be able to evaluate any symbols or functions that it uses.

◆ findReferencedSymbols()

void juce::Expression::findReferencedSymbols ( Array< Symbol > & results,
const Scope & scope ) const

Returns a list of all symbols that may be needed to resolve this expression in the given scope.

◆ function()

Expression juce::Expression::function ( const String & functionName,
const Array< Expression > & parameters )
static

Returns an Expression which is a function call.

◆ getInput()

Expression juce::Expression::getInput ( int index) const

Retrieves one of the inputs to this expression.

See also
getNumInputs

◆ getNumInputs()

int juce::Expression::getNumInputs ( ) const

Returns the number of inputs to this expression.

See also
getInput

◆ getSymbolOrFunction()

String juce::Expression::getSymbolOrFunction ( ) const

If this expression is a symbol, function or operator, this returns its identifier.

◆ getType()

Expression::Type juce::Expression::getType ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the type of this expression.

◆ operator*()

Expression juce::Expression::operator* ( const Expression & other) const

Returns an expression which is a multiplication operation of two existing expressions.

◆ operator+()

Expression juce::Expression::operator+ ( const Expression & other) const

Returns an expression which is an addition operation of two existing expressions.

◆ operator-() [1/2]

Expression juce::Expression::operator- ( ) const

Returns an expression which performs a negation operation on an existing expression.

◆ operator-() [2/2]

Expression juce::Expression::operator- ( const Expression & other) const

Returns an expression which is a subtraction operation of two existing expressions.

◆ operator/()

Expression juce::Expression::operator/ ( const Expression & other) const

Returns an expression which is a division operation of two existing expressions.

◆ operator=() [1/2]

Expression & juce::Expression::operator= ( const Expression & other)

Copies another expression.

◆ operator=() [2/2]

Expression & juce::Expression::operator= ( Expression && other)
noexcept

Move assignment operator

◆ parse()

Expression juce::Expression::parse ( String::CharPointerType & stringToParse,
String & parseError )
static

Returns an Expression which parses a string from a character pointer, and updates the pointer to indicate where it finished.

The pointer is incremented so that on return, it indicates the character that follows the end of the expression that was parsed.

If there's a syntax error in parsing, the parseError argument will be set to a description of the problem.

◆ referencesSymbol()

bool juce::Expression::referencesSymbol ( const Symbol & symbol,
const Scope & scope ) const

Returns true if this expression makes use of the specified symbol. If a suitable scope is supplied, the search will dereference and recursively check all symbols, so that it can be determined whether this expression relies on the given symbol at any level in its evaluation. If the scope parameter is null, this just checks whether the expression contains any direct references to the symbol.

Exceptions
Expression::EvaluationError

◆ symbol()

Expression juce::Expression::symbol ( const String & symbol)
static

Returns an Expression which is an identifier reference.

◆ toString()

String juce::Expression::toString ( ) const

Returns a string version of the expression.

◆ usesAnySymbols()

bool juce::Expression::usesAnySymbols ( ) const

Returns true if this expression contains any symbols.

◆ withRenamedSymbol()

Expression juce::Expression::withRenamedSymbol ( const Symbol & oldSymbol,
const String & newName,
const Scope & scope ) const

Returns a copy of this expression in which all instances of a given symbol have been renamed.
