Namespace Detail
JXG.PrefixParser
Prefix expression parser, i.e. a poor man's parser. This is a simple prefix parser for measurements and expressions of measurements, see Measurement. An expression is given as

- array starting with an operator as first element, followed by one or more operands,
- number.

Possible operators are:

- '+', '-', '*', '/': binary operators
- 'Area', 'Radius', 'Value', 'V', 'L': arbitrary methods of JSXGraph elements, supplied as strings.
- 'exec': call a function

Possible operands are:

- numbers
- strings
- JSXGraph elements in case the operator is a method. Example: ['Area', circle] calls the method circle.Area().
- prefix expressions (for binary operators)
- 'exec': call functions. Example: ['exec', 'sin', ['V', slider]] computes 'Math.sin(slider.Value())'. As functions only functions in Math or JXG.Math are allowed.

Examples:

      ['+', 100, 200]

    var p1 = board.create('point', [1, 1]);
    var p2 = board.create('point', [1, 3]);
    var seg = board.create('segment', [[-2,-3], [-2, 3]]);

    // Valid prefix expression: ['L', seg]

    var p1 = board.create('point', [1, 1]);
    var p2 = board.create('point', [1, 3]);
    var seg = board.create('segment', [[-2,-3], [-2, 3]]);
    var ci = board.create('circle', [p1, 7]);

    // Valid prefix expression:  ['+', ['Radius', ci], ['L', seg]]

    var ang = board.create('angle', [[4, 0], [0, 0], [2, 2]]);
    // Valid prefix expression:  ['V', ang, 'degrees']);

Method Detail
<static> JXG.PrefixParser.dimension(term)
Determine the dimension of the resulting value, i.e. ['L', obj] as well as ['+', ['L', obj1], ['L', obj2]] have dimension 1.

['+', ['Area', obj1], ['L', obj2]] will retrun NaN, because the two operands have conflicting dimensions.

If an element is a measurement element, then it's dimension can be set as attribute. This overrules the computed dimension.

Parameters:
{Array|Number} term
  Prefix expression

Returns:
  Number

<private> <static> JXG.PrefixParser.getParents(term)
Determine parent elements of a prefix expression.

Parameters:
{Array|Number} term
  prefix expression

Returns:
  Array

<static> {Number} JXG.PrefixParser.parse(term, action)
Parse a prefix expression and apply an action.

Parameters:
{array|number} term
  Expression
{String} action
  Determines what to do. So far, the only action available is 'execute', which evaluates the expression.

Returns:
  {Number} What ever the action does.

<static> {Array|Number} JXG.PrefixParser.toPrefix(term)
Convert a prefix expression into a new prefix expression in which JSXGraph elements have been replaced by their ids.

Parameters:
{Array|Number} term

Returns:
  {Array|Number}
