$executor = new MathExecutor(); echo $executor->execute('1 + 2 * (2 - (4+10))^2 + sin(10)'); ``` Functions: ---------- [](#functions) Default functions: - abs - acos (arccos) - acosh - arccos - arccosec - arccot - arccotan - arccsc (arccosec) - arcctg (arccot, arccotan) - arcsec - arcsin - arctan - arctg - array - asin (arcsin) - atan (atn, arctan, arctg) - atan2 - atanh - atn - avg - bindec - ceil - cos - cosec - cosec (csc) - cosh - cot - cotan - cotg - csc - ctg (cot, cotan, cotg, ctn) - ctn - decbin - dechex - decoct - deg2rad - exp - expm1 - floor - fmod - hexdec - hypot - if - intdiv - lg - ln - log (ln) - log10 (lg) - log1p - max - median - min - octdec - pi - pow - rad2deg - round - sec - sin - sinh - sqrt - tan (tn, tg) - tanh - tg - tn Add custom function to executor: ``` $executor->addFunction('concat', function($arg1, $arg2) {return $arg1 . $arg2;}); ``` Optional parameters: ``` $executor->addFunction('round', function($num, int $precision = 0) {return round($num, $precision);}); $executor->execute('round(17.119)'); // 17 $executor->execute('round(17.119, 2)'); // 17.12 ``` Variable number of parameters: ``` $executor->addFunction('average', function(...$args) {return array_sum($args) / count($args);}); $executor->execute('average(1,3)'); // 2 $executor->execute('average(1, 3, 4, 8)'); // 4 ``` Operators: ---------- [](#operators) Default operators: `+ - * / % ^` Add custom float modulo operator to executor: ``` use NXP\Classes\Operator; $executor->addOperator(new Operator( '%', // Operator sign false, // Is right associated operator 180, // Operator priority function ($op1, $op2) { return fmod($op1, $op2); } )); ``` Logical operators: ------------------ [](#logical-operators) Logical operators (==, !=, <, <, >=, <=, &&, ||, !) are supported, but logically they can only return true (1) or false (0). In order to leverage them, use the built in **if** function: ``` if($a > $b, $a - $b, $b - $a) ``` You can think of the **if** function as prototyped like: ``` function if($condition, $returnIfTrue, $returnIfFalse) ``` Variables: ---------- [](#variables) Variables can be prefixed with the dollar sign ($) for PHP compatibility, but is not required. Default variables: ``` $pi = 3.14159265359 $e = 2.71828182846 ``` You can add your own variables to executor: ``` $executor->setVar('var1', 0.15)->setVar('var2', 0.22); echo $executor->execute("$var1 + var2"); ``` Arrays are also supported (as variables, as func params or can be returned in user defined funcs): ``` $executor->setVar('monthly_salaries', [1800, 1900, 1200, 1600]); echo $executor->execute("avg(monthly_salaries) * min([1.1, 1.3])"); ``` By default, variables must be scalar values (int, float, bool or string) or array. If you would like to support another type, use **setVarValidationHandler** ``` $executor->setVarValidationHandler(function (string $name, $variable) { // allow all scalars, array and null if (is_scalar($variable) || is_array($variable) || $variable === null) { return; } // Allow variables of type DateTime, but not others if (! $variable instanceof \DateTime) { throw new MathExecutorException("Invalid variable type"); } }); ``` You can dynamically define variables at run time. If a variable has a high computation cost, but might not be used, then you can define an undefined variable handler. It will only get called when the variable is used, rather than having to always set it initially. ``` $executor->setVarNotFoundHandler( function ($varName) { if ($varName == 'trans') { return transmogrify(); } return null; } ); ``` Floating Point BCMath Support ----------------------------- [](#floating-point-bcmath-support) By default, `MathExecutor` uses PHP floating point math, but if you need a fixed precision, call **useBCMath()**. Precision defaults to 2 decimal points, or pass the required number. `WARNING`: Functions may return a PHP floating point number. By doing the basic math functions on the results, you will get back a fixed number of decimal points. Use a plus sign in front of any stand alone function to return the proper number of decimal places. Division By Zero Support: ------------------------- [](#division-by-zero-support) Division by zero throws a `\NXP\Exception\DivisionByZeroException` by default ``` try { echo $executor->execute('1/0'); } catch (DivisionByZeroException $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); } ``` Or call setDivisionByZeroIsZero ``` echo $executor->setDivisionByZeroIsZero()->execute('1/0'); ``` If you want another behavior, you can override division operator: ``` $executor->addOperator(new Operator("/", false, 180, function($a, $b) { if ($b == 0) { return null; } return $a / $b; }); echo $executor->execute('1/0'); ``` String Support: --------------- [](#string-support) Expressions can contain double or single quoted strings that are evaluated the same way as PHP evaluates strings as numbers. You can also pass strings to functions. ``` echo $executor->execute("1 + '2.5' * '.5' + myFunction('category')"); ``` To use reverse solidus character (\\) in strings, or to use single quote character (') in a single quoted string, or to use double quote character (") in a double quoted string, you must prepend reverse solidus character (\\). ``` echo $executor->execute("countArticleSentences('My Best Article\'s Title')"); ``` Extending MathExecutor ---------------------- [](#extending-mathexecutor) You can add operators, functions and variables with the public methods in MathExecutor, but if you need to do more serious modifications to base behaviors, the easiest way to extend MathExecutor is to redefine the following methods in your derived class: - defaultOperators - defaultFunctions - defaultVars This will allow you to remove functions and operators if needed, or implement different types more simply. Also note that you can replace an existing default operator by adding a new operator with the same regular expression string. For example if you just need to redefine TokenPlus, you can just add a new operator with the same regex string, in this case '\\+'.
