## Detailed Description

Abstract base class for mathematical functions.

A mathemical function, subclassed from MathFunction, should at least reimplement calculate(MathStructure&, const MathStructure&, const EvaluationOptions&) and copy(), and preferably also the represents* functions. Argument definitions should be added in the constructor.

## Member Function Documentation

## args() [1/2]

int MathFunction::args | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the maximum number of arguments that the function accepts or -1 if the number of arguments is unlimited.

## args() [2/2]

int MathFunction::args | ( | const string & | str,
|  | MathStructure & | vargs,
|  | const ParseOptions & | po = `default_parse_options`
| ) |  |

Parses arguments from a text string and places them in a vector. The text string should be a comma separated list of arguments.

Parameters

  str | The argument string to parse.
  vargs | Vector to store parsed arguments in.
  po | Parse options.

Returns
  The number of parsed arguments.

## calculate()

virtual int MathFunction::calculate | ( | MathStructure & | mstruct,
|  | const MathStructure & | vargs,
|  | const EvaluationOptions & | eo
| ) |  |

virtual

The main function for subclasses to reimplement. Calculates a value from arguments in vargs and puts it in mstruct.

This function expects the number of arguments to be equal to the maximum number of arguments, and checked by the argument definitions.

If the return value is negative, then argument -(return value) has been evaluated in mstruct. If -(return value) is greater than max arguments, then mstruct is a vector of evaluated argument values.

Parameters

  [out] | mstruct | Structure that is set with the result of the calculation.
  | vargs | Arguments passed to the mathematical function.
  | eo | Evaluation options.

Returns
  1 if the calculation was successful.

Reimplemented in UserFunction, and DataSet.

## clearArgumentDefinitions()

void MathFunction::clearArgumentDefinitions | ( |  | ) |

Removes all argument definitions for the function.

## condition()

string MathFunction::condition | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the functions condition expression.

Returns
  The function's condition expression

## getArgumentDefinition()

Argument* MathFunction::getArgumentDefinition | ( | size_t | index | ) |

Returns the argument definition for an argument index.

Parameters

  index | Argument index.

Returns
  The argument definition for the index or NULL if no the argument was not defined for the index

## lastArgumentDefinitionIndex()

size_t MathFunction::lastArgumentDefinitionIndex | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the index of the last argument definition.

Returns
  The index of the last argument definition

## maxargs()

int MathFunction::maxargs | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the maximum number of arguments that the function accepts or -1 if the number of arguments is unlimited.

## minargs()

int MathFunction::minargs | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the minimum number of arguments for the function.

## printCondition()

string MathFunction::printCondition | ( |  | ) |

Print the function's condition expression with argument names.

Returns
  The printed condition

## setArgumentDefinition()

void MathFunction::setArgumentDefinition | ( | size_t | index,
|  | Argument * | argdef
| ) |  |

Set the argument definition for an argument index.

Parameters

  index | Argument index.
  argdef | A newly allocated argument definition

## setCondition()

void MathFunction::setCondition | ( | string | expression | ) |

Sets the functions condition expression.

Parameters

  expression | The function's new condition expression

## subtype()

virtual int MathFunction::subtype | ( |  | ) | const

virtual

Returns the subtype of the mathematical function, corresponding to which subsubclass the object belongs to.

Returns
  FunctionSubtype.

Implements ExpressionItem.

Reimplemented in UserFunction, and DataSet.

## testCondition()

bool MathFunction::testCondition | ( | const MathStructure & | vargs | ) |

Test if arguments fulfil the function's condition expression.

Parameters

  vargs | Vector with arguments.

Returns
  true if the arguments fulfil the function's condition expression

## type()

virtual int MathFunction::type | ( |  | ) | const

virtual

Returns the type of the expression item, corresponding to which subclass the object belongs to.

Returns
  ExpressionItemType.

Implements ExpressionItem.
