EvalEx-big-math version 1.0.0 released

[uklimaschewski]

I am happy to announce the first release of EvalEx-big-math, the big-math extension for EvalEx.

Big-math is a library by Eric Obermühlner. It provides advanced Java BigDecimal math functions using an arbitrary precision.

EvalEx-big-math adds the advanced math functions from big-math to EvalEx.

Several standard functions in EvalEx do use Javas double math methods for calculation. These have a limited precision.

If you need more precision, the EvalEx-big-math extension replaces these limited functions with functions that use the precision of the configured MathContext.
The precision is only limited through your computing power, there is no hard limit anymore.

Additionally, EvalEx-big-math adds new functions to the standard set of functions.

How to use it

The easiest way is to use the BigMathExpression class, which is the same as the Expression
class, but has all the new functions and operators configured:

BigMathExpression expression = new BigMathExpression("SIN(x)");
EvaluationValue result = expression.with("x", 10).evaluate(); 

ExpressionConfiguration configuration = ExpressionConfiguration.builder()
    .decimalPlacesRounding(2)
    .build();

BigMathExpression expression = new BigMathExpression("SIN(x)", configuration);
EvaluationValue result = expression.with("x", 10).evaluate(); 

Alternatively, create a new EvalEx configuration and simply add all the functions and operators,
existing functions and operators will be overridden:

ExpressionConfiguration configuration =
    ExpressionConfiguration.defaultConfiguration()
        .withAdditionalFunctions(BigMathFunctions.allFunctions())
        .withAdditionalOperators(BigDecimalMathOperators.allOperators());
        
Expression expression = new Expression("SIN(x) ^ COS(y)", configuration); 

You may choose only to add the functions and operators you need by specifying them separately:

ExpressionConfiguration configuration =
    ExpressionConfiguration.defaultConfiguration()
        .withAdditionalFunctions(
            Map.entry("SIN", new BigMathSinFunction()),
            Map.entry("COS", new BigMathCosFunction()))
        .withAdditionalOperators(
            Map.entry("^", new BigMathInfixPowerOfOperator()));

        
Expression expression = new Expression("SIN(x) ^ COS(y)", configuration); 

Instead of overriding the existing functions and operators, you can also add them with new names:

ExpressionConfiguration configuration =
    ExpressionConfiguration.defaultConfiguration()
        .withAdditionalFunctions(
            Map.entry("BIG_SIN", new BigMathSinFunction()),
            Map.entry("BIG_COS", new BigMathCosFunction()))
        .withAdditionalOperators(
            Map.entry("^", new BigMathInfixPowerOfOperator()));
        
Expression expression = new Expression("BIG_SIN(x) ^ BIG_COS(y)", configuration);

Download / Including

You can download the binaries, source code and JavaDoc jars from
Maven Central.
You will find there also copy/paste templates for including EvalEx in your project with build
systems like Maven or Gradle.

Maven

To include it in your Maven project, refer to both artifacts in your pom. For example:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.ezylang</groupId>
      <artifactId>EvalEx</artifactId>
      <version>3.0.1</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.ezylang</groupId>
      <artifactId>EvalEx-big-math</artifactId>
      <version>1.0.0</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Gradle

If you're using gradle add both dependencies to your project's app build.gradle:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.ezylang:EvalEx:3.0.1'
    compile 'com.ezylang:EvalEx-big-math:1.0.0'
}

⚠️ Attention: You have to add EvalEx and EvalEx-big-math dependencies to your project
