kalk

Kalk is a math parser library that supports user-defined variables and functions. An example of what it can parse:

f(x, y) = sum(1, 3, (2sin4/x!)^y) + cos(n deg)
a = 3
f(a, 2)

Features

• Operators: +, -, *, /, !
• Groups: (), ⌈⌉, ⌋⌊
• Pre-defined functions and constants
• User-defined functions and variables. f(x, y) = xy, x = 5
• Understands fairly ambiguous syntax. Eg. 2sin50 + 2xy

Usage

use kalk::parser;

...
let parser_context = parser::Context::new();
assert_eq!(parser_context.eval("5*3").unwrap().unwrap(), 15);

Compiling

Make sure you have diffutils gcc make and m4 installed.
