problem.parseformula
| problem.parseformula | 
  Purpose
 
 Parse a formula written as an unparsed array of tokens into internal parsed (reverse Polish) format
 
  Synopsis
 
ntoken = problem.parseformula (intype, invalue, type, value)
 
  Arguments
 
| 
     intype 
     | 
     Array of token types providing the unparsed formula.
     | 
| 
     invalue 
     | 
     Array of values corresponding to the types in
     inType.
     | 
| 
     ntoken 
     | 
     The number of tokens in the parsed formula (not counting the terminating
     xslp_op_eof token).
     | 
| 
     type 
     | 
     Array of token types providing the parsed formula.
     | 
| 
     value 
     | 
     Array of values corresponding to the types in
     type.

  Example
 
 Assuming that
 x and
 y are already defined as columns with index
 iX and
 iY respectively, the following example converts the formula "sin(x+y)" into internal parsed format, and then writes it out as a sequence of tokens.
 
intype  = []
invalue = []
intype  = [xslp_op_ifun, xslp_op_lb, xslp_op_col, xslp_op_op,
           xslp_op_col, xslp_op_rb, xslp_op_eof]
invalue = [xslp_op_sin,  0,          iX         , xslp_op_plus,
           iY,          0,          0]
type  = []
value = []
ntoken = p.parseformula (intype, invalue, type, value);
i=0
while type[n] != xslp_op_eof:
  str = p.itemname (type[i], value[i])
  print (str);
  i += 1
