# cs-mic
|
||||
CS-MIC is a .NET library written in C# designed to give developers easy access to expression parsing. For many developers, there is no need to involve complicated settings and formats. With few exposed methods and objects, CS-MIC makes basic expression solving as simple as possible with as little logic required from developers as possible. In fact, one can pull a value with only one line of code.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
CS-MIC follows a few basic rules when interpreting user input, but should prove to be fairly straightforward for most developers. While CS-MIC tries to ensure that the order of operations as far as it knows them (parentheses – powers, multiplication, division – addition, subtraction), there may be instances where formatting fails. If this should be noticed, please report it.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Expression Parsing
|
||||
|
||||
#### Operands
|
||||
|
||||
`+` - Addition
|
||||
|
||||
`–` - Subtraction
|
||||
|
||||
`*` - Multiplication
|
||||
|
||||
`/` - Division
|
||||
|
||||
`^` - Raise to a power
|
||||
|
||||
`%` - Modulus
|
||||
|
||||
#### Tokens
|
||||
|
||||
`::` - Assign a numeric value to a variable.
|
||||
|
||||
`:=` - Assign an equation to a variable.
|
||||
|
||||
`->` - Assigns a comma delimited array of numbers to an array variable.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Comparison
|
||||
|
||||
`==` - Returns ‘True’ if two values are equal to each other.
|
||||
|
||||
`>` - Returns ‘True’ if a value is greater than another value.
|
||||
|
||||
`<` - Returns ‘True’ if a value is less than another value.
|
||||
|
||||
`>=` - Returns ‘True’ if a value is greater than or equal to another value.
|
||||
|
||||
`<=` - Returns ‘True’ if a value is greater than or equal to another value.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Base Conversion
|
||||
|
||||
* Decimal
|
||||
* All numbers are interpreted as decimal by default.
|
||||
* Binary
|
||||
* Binary numbers are succeeded by a B, non case sensative.
|
||||
* Hexadecimal
|
||||
* Hexadecimal numbers are preceded by 0x, non case sensative.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example Input and Output
|
||||
|
||||
**Input**|**Output**
|
||||
:-----:|:-----:
|
||||
`5 + 5` | `10`
|
||||
`5 * 2` | `10`
|
||||
`1 + 2 * 3` | `7`
|
||||
`(1 + 2) * 3` | `9`
|
||||
`5 / 2` | `2.5`
|
||||
`5 / 0` | `Attempted to divide by zero.`
|
||||
`2 ^ 32` | `4294967296`
|
||||
`x :: 4` | `4`
|
||||
`x :: 6 + 4` | `10`
|
||||
`y := 2^x` | `(2^x)`
|
||||
|
||||
### Scripting
|
||||
|
||||
#### Rules
|
||||
|
||||
* Any valid expression can be computed.
|
||||
* All computation counts towards the script’s history. This means that once a variable is set inside a script, the variable will remain set until execution of the script is complete.
|
||||
* Only one command can be executed per line. No token is required to end the command.
|
||||
* Every code block must be opened and closed with a bracket ( { } ). The only exception is the main code block.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Loops
|
||||
|
||||
`while` - Executes a code block as long as a given condition evaluates to true.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
while(bool expression)
|
||||
{
|
||||
CODE BLOCK
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`for` - After executing an initial condition, a code block is executed while a condition is met. A final statement is executed at the end of each iteration.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
for(* expression, bool condition, * expression)
|
||||
{
|
||||
CODE BLOCK
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Conditionals
|
||||
|
||||
`if` - Executes a code block if a given condition evaluates to true. An optional else block can follow the if block for execution if the statement evaluates as false.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
if(bool expression)
|
||||
{
|
||||
CODE BLOCK
|
||||
}
|
||||
else
|
||||
{
|
||||
CODE BLOCK
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Functions
|
||||
|
||||
`echo` - Displays the output from the proceding expression.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
echo: expression
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`say` - Displays a string.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
say: “string”
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`display` - Combines strings and expressions to a single line in the output stack.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
display: “string”, 12 * 2, “string”, sin(12)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`function` - Creates a new function with a given name, and any number of expected arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
function(newFunction, anyArgumentName)
|
||||
{
|
||||
sin(anyArgumentName) + cos(anyArgumentName)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Comments
|
||||
|
||||
* Block Tokens
|
||||
* Starting token: /*
|
||||
* Ending token: */
|
||||
*Any line falling between block comment tokens will be ignored by the macro builder at execution time.
|
||||
* Line Tokens
|
||||
* //
|
||||
* Any line starting with the line token will be ignored by the macro builder at execution time.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Script**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
say: “Fibonacci Sequence”
|
||||
temp :: 1
|
||||
y :: 1
|
||||
echo: y
|
||||
for(x :: 1, x < 11, x :: temp + y)
|
||||
{
|
||||
echo: x
|
||||
temp :: y
|
||||
y :: x
|
||||
}
|
||||
x :: 1
|
||||
say: “While Loop”
|
||||
while(x < 10)
|
||||
{
|
||||
if(x == 5)
|
||||
{
|
||||
display: “The condition ‘x == 5’ has been met. x = “, x, “.”
|
||||
}
|
||||
else
|
||||
{
|
||||
echo: sin(x)
|
||||
}
|
||||
x :: x + 1
|
||||
}
|
||||
