int isCompiled( )

Returns a value indicating if the given expression has been compiled.

Return value

1 if the expression has been compiled; otherwise, 0.

int getFunction( string name, int num_args )

Returns the ID of the function from the expression namespace. It can be used to call a function by its ID instead of the name (speeds up the function call; it is almost as fast the direct call).

Arguments

• string name - Name of the function.
• int num_args - The number of function arguments.

Return value

Function ID.

int isFunction( string name, int num_args )

Checks if a given user-defined function exists in the expression namespace.

Arguments

• string name - Full name of the target function.
• int num_args - Number of arguments of the target function.

Return value

1 if the function exists; otherwise, 0.

void setName( string name )

Sets a namespace name for the expression that can be used when calling expression methods.

Arguments

• string name - Namespace name.

string getName( )

Get a name used as a namespace name when calling expression methods.

Return value

Namespace name.

void setVariable( string name, variable value )

Set the value of the variable from the expression namespace by its name.

Arguments

• string name - Variable name.
• variable value - Variable value to set.

variable getVariable( string name )

Returns ID of the variable from the expression namespace. It can be used to pass a variable by its ID instead of the name. It speeds up passing of the varible and can be used, for example, on mobile devices when the performance is crucial.

Arguments

• string name - Variable name.

Return value

Variable, if it exists; otherwise, 0.

int isVariable( string name )

Checks if a given user-defined variable exists in the expression namespace.

Arguments

• string name - Name of the target variable.

Return value

1 if the variable exists; otherwise, 0.

Expression( string src, int scope = 0 = 0 )

Runs the expression pointed to.

Arguments

• string src - Source buffer pointer.
• int scope = 0 - 1 to treat the expression namespace as the global; otherwise, 0 (by default).

variable run( )

Runs the given expression.

Return value

Argument value.
