Constructor Detail

MathMLExpression

public MathMLExpression(java.lang.String mathML)
                 throws org.xml.sax.SAXException,
                        java.io.IOException,
                        javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException

Throws:

org.xml.sax.SAXException

java.io.IOException

javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException

Method Detail

getIdentifiers

public static java.lang.String[] getIdentifiers(Node cur)

Gets all identifiers in the parse tree cur and returns them.

printParseTree

public static void printParseTree(Node cur)

getExpression

public Node getExpression()
                   throws java.lang.Exception

Converts the MathML parse tree into a traditional math parse tree and returns the result. If this MathMLExpression is a function then the function arguments are removed from the tree and just the function definition is returned.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

getFunctionArguments

public java.lang.String[] getFunctionArguments()
                                        throws java.lang.Exception

Return an array of strings of the function arguments. If this MathMLExpression is not a function then return null.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

getMathMLParseTree

public Node getMathMLParseTree()

isLambdaFunction

public boolean isLambdaFunction()

setLambdaFunction

public void setLambdaFunction(boolean lambdaFunction)

Tell this MathMLExpression if it represents a lambda function or not. If it represents a lambda function it will look for function arguments first then a mathematical expression. If this MathMLExpression doesn't represent a lambda function then it will give an error if it finds function arguments. Note that a lambda function may have zero arguments (making it indistinguishable from an expression).

solve

public Node solve(java.lang.String var)
           throws java.lang.Exception

Solves for var and returns a parse tree. The parse tree contains the expression for the value of var assuming the expression represented by this MathMLExpression is equal to zero. This routine only works on expressions containing only -, +, and . An exception is thrown if other operations are found. Furthermore, the tree must be a sum of products. The returned tree is a simpleTree.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception
