CaculationEngine

<br>       <br>      

CalculationEngine is a useful tool for calculating complex formulas. <br> It's inspired by Jace.NET, and some code was taken from Jace.NET.

Simple Code

• Here is a simple piece of code that demonstrates what a CalculationEngine is.

  // Define CalculationEngine
  var engine = new CalculationEngine();
  
  // Calculate Formulas
  var answer = engine.Calculate("1 + 3");
  var answer2 = engine.Calculate("3 + 5 * 9");
  var answer3 = engine.Calculate("pow(3, 2) + (2 - 3)");
  
  /****************** RESULT ******************/
  // answer : 4
  // answer2 : 48
  // answer3 : 8
  

Features

The CalculationEngine can calculate formulas that contain strings and objects.

• Calculating String Constants And Variables

  var engine = new CalculationEngine();
  var variables = new Dictionary<string, object>() { { "code", "PRESENT" } };
  
  var answer = engine.Calculate("if(CODE == \"PRESENT\", \"TRUE\", \"FALSE\")", variables);
  
  /****************** RESULT ******************/
  // answer : "TRUE"
  

<br>

The CalculationEngine can access the object properties by PropertyConnector

• Point Class for formula

  public class Point
  {
      public Point(string name,  double x, double y)
      {
          Name = name;
          X = x;
          Y = y;
      }
  
      public string Name { get; set; }
      public double X { get; set; }
      public double Y { get; set; }
  }
  

• Implementing a PropertyConnector to access Point class properties

  public class PointPropertyConnector : PropertyConnector
  {
      public PointPropertyConnector(bool caseSensitive) : base(caseSensitive)
      {
      }
  
      protected override object? OnGetPropertyValue(object target, string propertyName)
      {
          if (target is Point point)
          {
              if (propertyName.Equals(ConvertPropertyName(".Name")))
                  return point.Name;
              else if (propertyName.Equals(ConvertPropertyName(".X")))
                  return point.X;
              else if (propertyName.Equals(ConvertPropertyName(".Y")))
                  return point.Y;
          }
  
          return null;
      }
  }
  

• Calculate formulas with the Point class

  var engine = new CalculationEngine(new CalculationEngineOptions()
  {
      PropertyConnectorFactory = caseSensitive => new PointPropertyConnector(caseSensitive)
  });
  var variables = new Dictionary<string, object>()
  {
      { "p1", new Point("A", 0, 1) },
      { "p2", new Point("B", 1.25, -2.56) },
      { "Code", "A" }
  };
  
  var answer = engine.Calculate("p1.x + p2.y", variables);
  var answer2 = engine.Calculate("if ( Code == p1.Name, \"True\", \"False\")", variables);
  
  /****************** RESULT ******************/
  // answer : -2.56
  // answer2 : "True"
