Detailed Description

A user defined mathematical function.

User functions are functions defined using expression strings, representing mathematical formulas.

The expression/formula of a function is basically a normal expression with placeholders for arguments. These placeholders consists of a backslash and a letter — x, y, z for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd arguments and a to u for argument 4 to 24. They are replaced by entered arguments when a function is calculated. The placeholders naturally also decide the number of arguments that a function requires. For example the function for triangle area ("base * height / 2") has the name triangle and the formula "(\x*\y)/2", which gives that "triangle(2, 3)" equals "(2*3) / 2" and returns "3" as result. An argument can be used more than one time and all arguments must not necessarily be in order in the formula.

Additionally, optional arguments can be put in the formula with upper-case (X, Y, Z, ...) instead of lower-case letters (x, y, z, ...). The default value can be put in brackets after the letter (ex. "\X{2}"). The default value may be omitted and is then zero. All additional arguments after an optional argument must also be optional.

To simplify the formula and make it more efficient, subfunctions can be used. These works just like the main formula, using the arguments of it. Subfunctions are referenced in the formula using \index ('\2', '\2', '\3', ...). Even though it would be quite meaningless, the formula for triangle function could for example have a subfunction "\x*\y" and the formula "\1/2". Subfunctions must be added before the main formula is set.

Member Function Documentation

◆ calculate()

int UserFunction::calculate	(	MathStructure &	mstruct,
		const MathStructure &	vargs,
		const EvaluationOptions &	eo )

virtual

The main function for subclasses to reimplement. Calculates a value from arguments in vargs and puts it in mstruct.

This function expects the number of arguments to be equal to the maximum number of arguments, and checked by the argument definitions.

If the return value is negative, then argument -(return value) has been evaluated in mstruct. If -(return value) is greater than max arguments, then mstruct is a std::vector of evaluated argument values.

Parameters

[out]	mstruct	Structure that is set with the result of the calculation.
	vargs	Arguments passed to the mathematical function.
	eo	Evaluation options.

Returns: 1 if the calculation was successful.

Reimplemented from MathFunction.

◆ copy()

ExpressionItem * UserFunction::copy ( ) const

virtual

Implements MathFunction.

◆ formula()

std::string UserFunction::formula ( ) const

Returns the external representation of the formula.

◆ internalFormula()

std::string UserFunction::internalFormula ( ) const

Returns the internal representation of the formula.

◆ set()

void UserFunction::set ( const ExpressionItem * item )

virtual

Reimplemented from MathFunction.

◆ setFormula()

void UserFunction::setFormula	(	std::string	new_formula,
		int	argc_ = -1,
		int	max_argc_ = 0 )

Sets the formula of the mathematical function.

Parameters

new_formula	Formula/expression.
argc_	Minimum number of arguments or -1 to read from formula.
max_argc_	Maximum number of arguments (ignored if argc_ < 0)

◆ setSubfunction()

void UserFunction::setSubfunction	(	size_t	index,
		std::string	subfunction )

Sets the formula for a subfunction.

Parameters

index	Index (starting at 1).
subfunction	Formula/expression.

◆ subtype()

int UserFunction::subtype ( ) const

virtual

Returns the subtype of the mathematical function, corresponding to which subsubclass the object belongs to.

Returns: FunctionSubtype.

Reimplemented from MathFunction.
