org.lsmp.djep.xjep.function
Class Define

java.lang.Object
  org.nfunk.jep.function.PostfixMathCommand
      org.lsmp.djep.xjep.function.Define

All Implemented Interfaces:

CommandVisitorI, PostfixMathCommandI

public class Define
extends PostfixMathCommand
implements CommandVisitorI

Allows functions to be defined in equations.

 XJep > Define("half",1,"x/2")
 XJep > half(5)
 

Currently the Define function is handled in the preprocessing step

 Node n = xj.parse("Define(\"sumToX\",1,\"x*(x+1)/2\")");
 Node preproc = xj.preprocess(n);
 

and preproc will be null if a Define statement is encountered. This is probably a bug. TODO improve syntax. So can have Define("half(x)",x/2) TODO work out how to simplify and evaluate Define statements which don't really have a value. TODO fix parser so can do half(x) = x/2
