Expression Evaluator (that is - STRING CALCULATOR) |
|
| | 
| | | | Ever wanted to have a program, that will calculate the value of a given expression? (like you give it "2*3^sin(2)+23/(2*Abs(-8.5)" and it returns the value). Well HERE IT IS - My 'EVALUATOR' class. You may search all over, noone will give you such source (at least I didn't find). :) ('Eat MY code...':)
---Also, read the README.TXT File in the Zip. Thanx!

mvervi, this would be good if you
distributed a program to a user that
did not have Excel.

Thank you very very much man!!! I've
been working on such a class for a very
long time now, and I must say it isn't
easy!!!

mvervi, I don't understand this
logic.
1) I made this for the
ALGORITHM itself.
2) Excel loads for
hours...(and costs much)
3) Besides,
if you make a calculator app, I will
ask you: "Why do you make it - there is
one in Windows" ,and so with nearly
every program...

Hi Konstantin, Very good work!
mvervi,
there are so much applications where is
absolutely mandatory to have modules
like this ...

Great job! Makes it very easy to write
a scripting language. This is the most
useful code I've seen in awhile.

I also submitted an expression parser a
while back, if anyone is interested in
this. Just do a search for "3D
Mathematical Plot". I have an equation
solver to go along with it.

Cool code... just one little fixer
upper, in the function CalcFunction, PI
is stated as a number (because VB does
not have a PI constant). However, it
can be acurately calculated by using
the arc tangent (so I am a maths buff).
So, it should read:
Case
"PI"
CalcFunction = 4 *
Atn(1)
Cheers.... and again, cool code.

Yeah, right, from the point of math it
is cool to calculate the PI from ATN,
but from the point of programming it
will be better not to make the
calculation. PI is a constant and (if
I'm not mistaken) I gave it with the
best precision VB can handle.
If it
is not enough: PI=3.14159 26535 89793
23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399
37510 58209 74944 59230 78164 06286
20899 86280 34825 34211 70679...

Cool Code Konstantin,
This is
just what I was looking for.

One problem: try this -2^2 gives -4; it
should give 4
-2^2 = -2*-2 = 4
|
5/17/2000 7:26:46 PM:kt
Brian, that's not a problem, everything
is correct here. (-2)^2 is 4, but
-2^2=-(2^2)=-4.

This code is great. I have been trying
to find something that will convert
text formulas into a result and this
does it just fine. Had found others,
but they didn't handle brackets.
Thanks for this, it will save me a lot
of time.

Great code! Truly useful.
One
suggestion for enhancement would be to
evaluate expressions
like:
3x^2+2x
This can be done
with the current class only with the
syntax:
3*x^2+2*x
Which might not
be immediately intuitive. Maybe the
class could add the "*" automatically
when necessary.

Exactly what I was looking for! Great
job, Konstantin!

Thank you, I have been lokking for some
code like this for a long time, but
none of the modules I tried worked.
However, I was wondering if their is
some way to put the result into a text
box instead of in a msgbox.
