mXparser is an open-source mathematical expressions parser/evaluator providing abilities to calculate various expressions at a run time.[1] Expressions definitions are given as plain text, then verified in terms of grammar / syntax, finally calculated. Library source code is maintained separately for Java and C#, providing the same API for Java/JVM, Android, .NET and Mono (Common Language Specification Compliant).
Main features / usage examples
[edit]mXparser delivers functionalities such as: basic calculations, implied multiplication, built-in constants and functions, numerical calculus operations, iterated operators, user defined constants, user defined functions, user defined recursion, Unicode mathematical symbols support.

mXparser supports basic operators, such as: addition '+', subtraction '-', multiplication '*', division '/', factorial '!', power '^', modulo '#'.
Expression e = new Expression("2+3/(4+5)^4");
double v = e.calculate();
Implied multiplication
[edit]Source:[2]
Expression e = new Expression("2(3+4)3");
double v = e.calculate();
Expression e = new Expression("2pi(3+4)2sin(3)e");
double v = e.calculate();

It is possible to combine typical expressions with binary relations (such as: greater than '>', less than '<', equality '=', inequality '<>', greater or equal '>=', lower or equal '<='), as each relation evaluation results in either '1' for true outcome, or '0' for false.
Expression e = new Expression("(2<3)+5");
double v = e.calculate();

Boolean logic also operates assuming equivalence of '1 as true' and '0 as false'. Supported Boolean operators include: AND conjunction, OR disjunction, NAND Sheffer stroke, NOR, XOR Exclusive OR, IMP Implication, CIMP Converse implication, NIMP Material nonimplication, CNIMP Converse nonimplication, EQV Logical biconditional, Negation.
Expression e = new Expression("1 --> 0");
double v = e.calculate();
Built-in mathematical functions
[edit]Source:[2]
Supported common mathematical functions (unary, binary and variable number of arguments), including: trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions, logarithm functions, exponential function, hyperbolic functions, Inverse hyperbolic functions, Bell numbers, Lucas numbers, Stirling numbers, prime-counting function, exponential integral function, logarithmic integral function, offset logarithmic integral, binomial coefficient and others.
Expression e = new Expression("sin(0)+ln(2)+log(3,9)");
double v = e.calculate();
Expression e = new Expression("min(1,2,3,4)+gcd(1000,100,10)");

Expression e = new Expression("iff(2<1, 1; 3<4, 2; 10<2, 3; 5<10, 4)");
double v = e.calculate();
Built-in math constants
[edit]Source:[2]
Built-in mathematical constants, with high precision.

mXparser delivers implementation of the following calculus operations: differentiation and integration.
Expression e = new Expression("der( sin(x), x )");
double v = e.calculate();
Expression e = new Expression("int( sqrt(1-x^2), x, -1, 1)");
double v = e.calculate();
Prime numbers support
