TextCalculate
=============

[](#textcalculate)

Perform calculation on strings and replace placeholders according as configured in an array.

Example:

```
Given that ITEMS_SOLD = 10 & TAX_RATE = 0.25 AND PROCESS_FEE = 3,
calculate() can solve and return the result for '((ITEMS_SOLD * 15) + PROCESS_FEE) * 0.25'

```

Please see `tests/PlaceholderCalcTest.php` for example code
