Method Detail

evaluate

public IExpr evaluate(IAST ast)

Description copied from class: AbstractCoreFunctionEvaluator

Symbolic evaluation of a function. ast.get(0) contains the head (i.e. the function symbol) of this abstract syntax tree (AST). ast.get(1) to ast.get(n) contains the first to n-th argument of the function.
If necessary use the methods from the Validate class to check the number or types of arguments in the evaluate method.
Note: if the symbolic evaluation isn't possible or no result is found the evaluate method returns with a null value without throwing an exception!

Specified by:

evaluate in interface IFunctionEvaluator

Specified by:

evaluate in class AbstractCoreFunctionEvaluator

Parameters:

ast - the abstract syntax tree (AST) which should be evaluated

Returns:

the evaluated object or null, if evaluation isn't possible

depth

public static int depth(IAST list,
                        int headOffset)

Calculates the depth of an expression. Atomic expressions (no sublists) have depth 1 Example: the nested list [x,[y]] has depth 3

Parameters:

headOffset -
