KCExpr for Python
=================
KCExpr allows for the parsing of mathematical expressions as strings. KCExpr currently supports 27 mathematical functions, such as summation, products, and trigonometric functions, as well as supporting 37 mathematical constants, such as pi, e, and the golden ratio.
In all cases of KCExpr, the implementation structure is relatively similar. Firstly, declare an object of the KCExpr() class. Next, set the expression of that object. Finally, parse the object. The code blocks below highlight this process, both for single and multiple objects.
**Basic implementation**
.. code-block:: python
import KCExpr.KCExpr as kce
p = kce.KCExpr()
p.set_expr("1 + 2")
result = p.parse()
print(result) # prints "3" to the console
**Further implementation**
.. code-block:: python
import KCExpr.KCExpr as kce
p1, p2 = kce.KCExpr(), kce.KCExpr()
p1.set_expr("1")
p2.set_expr("2")
p3 = p1 + p2
result = p3.parse()
print(result) # prints "3" to the console
**Mathematical functions parsable by KCExpr**
The syntax for functions can be found in the docs folder (see GitHub). The following is a list of functions included in the KCExpr class.
- abs, sqrt, root, ncr, npr, sigma, pi, ln, log, sin, sina, csc, sinh, csch, sinha, cos, acos, sec, cosh, sech, cosha, tan, atan, cot, tanh, coth, tanha.
**Using mathematical constants in KCExpr**
The syntax for mathematical constants can be found in the docs folder (see GitHub). The following is a list of constants included in the KCExpr class.
