Description

Interface Summary
SerializableExpression.Element | interface used in internal representation of expression

Class Summary
DeepCopyVisitor | A Visitor which returns an exact copy of the tree.
DoNothingVisitor | A Visitor which visits each node of a expression tree and does nothing.
PostfixEvaluator | Evaluation component that avoids excessive use of the stack for large expressions.
PostfixTreeWalker | Base class for routines which use a non recursive tree walker strategy.
PrefixTreeDumper | Dumps the contents of a tree to a specified stream, or to standard output.
PrefixTreeWalker | Base class for routines which use a non recursive tree walker strategy.
SerializableExpression | A serializable representation of an expression.
SerializableExpression.Constant |
SerializableExpression.Function |
SerializableExpression.Operator |
SerializableExpression.Variable |
SubstitutionVisitor | Allows substitution of a given variable with an expression tree.
TreeAnalyzer | Analyze an expression, counting the number of nodes of each type, and recording which variables, functions and operators occurred in the expression.

## Package com.singularsys.jep.walkers Description

Expression tree traversal classes.

These classes implement various methods of transversing trees representing equations. For very large equations with 10,000+ nodes the standard ParserVisitor class can encounter problems with stack overflows due to recursions. The PostfixTreeWalker offers a base class for a transversal strategy which minimises the number of stack frames used and the PostfixEvaluator is an evaluator which uses this strategy. These methods visit each node in postfix fashion hence for `1+cos(x)` the nodes are visited in the order 1, x, cos, +.

PrefixTreeWalker is similar but visits nodes in a prefix fashion for `1+cos(x)` the nodes are visited in the order `+, 1, cos, x`.

DoNothingVisitor and DeepCopyVisitor are two base classes for classes which manipulate expressions using a standard recursive transversal. DoNothingVisitor visits each node in turn performing no action and returning the node. DeepCopyVisitor visits each node returning a copy of that node.
