View Source Formulae (formulae v0.10.3)

A set of functions to deal with analytical formulae.

The typical way of using this module would be to call Formulae.compile/1 on the binary representing the string.

iex|1  f = Formulae.compile "a + :math.sin(3.14 * div(b, 2)) - c"

%Formulae{
  ast: {:-, [line: 1],
  [
    {:+, [line: 1],
      [
        {:a, [line: 1], nil},
        {{:., [line: 1], [:math, :sin]}, [line: 1],
        [{:*, [line: 1], [3.14, {:div, [line: 1], [{:b, [line: 1], nil}, 2]}]}]}
      ]},
    {:c, [line: 1], nil}
  ]},
  eval: &:"Elixir.Formulae.a + :math.sin(3.14 * div(b, 2)) - c".eval/1,
  formula: "a + :math.sin(3.14 * div(b, 2)) - c",
  module: :"Elixir.Formulae.a + :math.sin(3.14 * div(b, 2)) - c",
  variables: [:a, :b, :c]
}

Now the formula is compiled and might be invoked by calling Formulae.eval/2 passing a formula and bindings. First call to eval/2 would lazily compile the module if needed.

iex|2  f.eval.(a: 3, b: 4, c: 2)
0.9968146982068622

The formulae might be curried.

iex|3  Formulae.curry(f, a: 3, b: 4)
%Formulae{
  ast: ...,
  eval: &:"Elixir.Formulae.3 + :math.sin(3.14 * div(4, 2)) - c".eval/1,
  formula: "3 + :math.sin(3.14 * div(4, 2)) - c",
  module: :"Elixir.Formulae.3 + :math.sin(3.14 * div(4, 2)) - c",
  variables: [:c]
}

Types

t()

The formulae is internally represented as struct, exposing the original binary representing the formula, AST, the module this formula was compiled into, variables (bindings) this formula has and the evaluator, which is the function of arity one, accepting the bindings as a keyword list and returning the result of this formula application.

Functions

Returns the binding this formula requires.

Revalidates the formula with bindings given. Returns true if the formula strictly evaluates to true, false otherwise. Compiles the formula before evaluation if needed.

Generated clauses for n ∈ [1..42] to be used with dynamic number

Compiles the formula into module.

Checks whether the formula was already compiled into module.

Curries the formula by substituting the known bindings into it.

Checks whether the formula was already compiled into module. Similar to compiled?/1, but returns what Code.ensure_compiled/1 returns.

Evaluates the formula returning the result back.

Evaluates the formula returning the result back; throws in a case of unseccessful processing.

Evaluates normalized representation of formula.

normalize(input) deprecated

Returns a normalized representation for the formula given.

Generated clauses for n ∈ [1..12] to be used with dynamic number

Purges and discards the module for the formula given (if exists.)

Produces the normalized representation of formula. If the rho is an instance of Integer or Float, it’s left intact, otherwise it’s moved to the left side with negation.

compiled?(binary() | t(), options :: options()) :: boolean()

Checks whether the formula was already compiled into module.

Typically one does not need to call this function, since this check would be nevertheless transparently performed before the evaluation.

Examples:

iex> Formulae.compiled?("foo > 42")
false
iex> Formulae.compile("foo > 42")
iex> Formulae.compiled?("foo > 42")

Example
