A class that stores an expression you can execute.
An expression can be made of any arithmetic operation, built-in math function call, method call of a passed instance, or built-in type construction call.
An example expression text using the built-in math functions could be [code]sqrt(pow(3,2) + pow(4,2))[/code].
In the following example we use a [LineEdit] node to write our expression and show the result.
[codeblock]
onready var expression = Expression.new()
func _ready():
$LineEdit.connect("text_entered", self, "_on_text_entered")
func _on_text_entered(command):
var error = expression.parse(command, [])
if error != OK:
print(expression.get_error_text())
return
var result = expression.execute([], null, true)
if not expression.has_execute_failed():
$LineEdit.text = str(result)
[/codeblock]
Executes the expression that was previously parsed by [method parse] and returns the result. Before you use the returned object, you should check if the method failed by calling [method has_execute_failed].
If you defined input variables in [method parse], you can specify their values in the inputs array, in the same order.
Same as [method execute] except it does not set member variables. ret[0] is the result, ret[1] is a bool telling you whether execute was successful or not, ret[2] is a String contanining the error string if there was any.
Returns the error text if [method parse] has failed.
Returns [code]true[/code] if [method execute] has failed.
Parses the expression and returns an [enum Error] code.
You can optionally specify names of variables that may appear in the expression with [code]input_names[/code], so that you can bind them when it gets executed.
