/* An object belonging to the class Expr is a mathematical expression that can involve: -- real numbers such as 2.7, 3, and 12.7e-12 -- the variable x -- arithmetic operators +, -, *, /, and ^ , where the last of these represents raising to a power -- the mathematical functions sin, cos, tan, sec, csc, cot, arcsin, arccos, arctan, exp, ln, log2, log10, abs, and sqrt, where ln is the natural log, log2 is the log to the base 2, log10 is the log to the base 10, abs is absolute value, and sqrt is the square root -- parentheses Some examples would be: x^2 + x + 1 sin(2.3*x-7.1) - cos(7.1*x-2.3) x - 1 42 exp(x^2) - 1 The trigonometric functions work with radians, not degrees. The parameter of a function must be enclosed in parentheses, so that "sin x" is NOT allowed. An Expr is constructed from a String that contains its definition. If an error is found in this definition, the constructor will throw an IllegalArgumentException with a message that describes the error and the position of the error in the string. After an Expr has been constructed, its defining string can be retrieved using the method getDefinition(). The main operation on an Expr object is to find its value, given a value for the variable x. The value is computed by the value() method. If the expression is undefined at the given value of x, then the number returned by value() method will be the special "non-a-number number", Double.NaN. (The boolean-valued function Double.isNaN(v) can be used to test whether the double value v is the special NaN value. For technical reasons, you can't just use the == operator to test for this value.) */ public class Expr { //----------------- public interface --------------------------------------- /** * Construct an expression, given its definition as a string. * This will throw an IllegalArgumentException if the string * does not contain a legal expression. */ public Expr(String definition) { parse(definition); } /** * Computes the value of this expression, when the variable x * has a specified value.
