mathterpreter

mathterpreter

A lightweight and basic maths interpreter

Example usage

Basic usage

from mathterpreter import interpret

print(interpret("54-3*(2+1)-3", use_decimals=False))

Step by step

from mathterpreter import Lexer, Parser

lexer = Lexer("54-3*(2+1)-3", use_decimals=False)
tokens = lexer.tokenize()
parser = Parser(tokens)
tree = parser.parse()
result = tree.evaluate()
print(result)

use_decimals determines whether numbers should be handled as decimal.Decimal rather than float for more accurate but slower calculations. Defaults to True

python3 -m mathterpreter 54-3*(2+1)-3
