(Class of Evaluation of Algebraic Expression)
none.
Algebra::AlgebraicParser.eval(string, ring)
Calculates the string on ring.
none.
The value of variable is obtained by the class method indeterminate of ring. The value of numeral is the return value of the class method indeterminate of ring.ground.
require "algebraic-parser" class A def self.indeterminate(str) case str when "x"; 7 when "y"; 11 end end def A.ground Integer end end p Algebra::AlgebraicParser.eval("x * y - x^2 + x/8", A) #=> 7*11 - 7**2 + 7/8 = 28
indeterminate of Integer is defined as following:
def Integer.indeterminate(x) eval(x) end
in algebra-supplement.rb which is required by algebraic-parser.rb
Identifier is "a alphabet + some digits". For example,
"a13bc04def0"
is interpreted as
"a13 * b * c04 * d * e * f0".
The order of strength of operations:
; intermediate evaluation +, - sum, difference +, - unary +, unary - *, / product, quotient (juxtaposition) product **, ^ power
In Algebra::Polynomial and Algebra::MPolynomial, indeterminate andground are defined suitably. So we can obtain the value of strings as following:
require "algebraic-parser" require "rational" require "m-polynomial" F = Algebra::MPolynomial(Rational) p Algebra::AlgebraicParser.eval("- (2*y)**3 + x", F) #=> -8y^3 + x
In Algebra::MPolynomial, indeterminate resists the objects representing variables in order that they appear. So we may set the order, using `;'.
F.variables.clear p Algebra::AlgebraicParser.eval("x; y; - (2*y)**3 + x", F) #=> x - 8y^3
