xFunc is a user-friendly C# library for constructing and manipulating mathematical and logical expressions. This lightweight library empowers developers to effortlessly parse strings into expression trees, analyze expressions (including derivatives and simplifications), and perform various mathematical operations.

xFunc is a versatile tool suitable for both educators and students, allowing the creation of complex mathematical expressions.

Note: The WPF application (xFunc UI) was migrated to a separate repository xFunc.UI.

• Evaluate expressions (see all supported functions and operators):
  • basic arithmetic operators: +, -, *, /, ^, etc.
  • trigonometric functions: sin(x), cos(x), tan(x), etc.
  • inverse trigonometric functions: arcsin(x), arccos(x), arctan(x), etc.
  • hyperbolic functions:sinh(x), cosh(x), tanh(x), etc.
  • inverse hyperbolic functions: arsinh(x), arcosh(x), artanh(x), etc.
  • complex numbers: 1 + 2i, im(x), re(x), etc.
  • vector/matrix: {1, 2, 3}, {{1, 2}, {3, 4}}, etc.
  • statistical: sum(a, b, c), avg(a, b, c), etc.
  • bitwise operators: x or y, x and y, etc.
  • units: 90 'deg' - angles, 10 'm' - length, 10 'min' - time, etc.
  • lambdas: f := (x) => x ^ 2, ((x) => x ^ 2)(3), curry(f), etc.
• Derivative calculation;
• Simplify expressions (simplification rules);
• Supported Framework: .NET 6+;

The main class of xFunc library is Processor. Detailed documentation is located on GitHub Pages.

It allows you to:

Parse:

var processor = new Processor();
var exp = processor.Parse("2 + x"); 

// 'exp' will contain the expression tree for later use
// you can calculate it or process it by analyzers (Differentiator, Simplifier, etc.)

// 'exp' has a parameter
// we should provide a value for variable 'x'
var parameters = new ExpressionParameters
{
    { "x", 10 }
};
var result = exp.Execute(parameters);

// result will be equal to 12

Note: The Parse method won't simplify the expression automatically, it will return the complete representation of provided string expression.

Solve:

This method parses string expression (like the Parse method) and then calculates it (returns object which implements the Result abstract class).

var processor = new Processor();
var result = processor.Solve("2 + 2");

Console.WriteLine(result); // 4.0

The result variable will contain 4 (as NumberResult which is the implementation of the Result class). It is a hand-made implementation of the discriminated union. The Result class provides the abstraction (root class) for DU, whereas implementation for each possible return type is dedicated to the appropriate nested result class. Check documentation for more examples: Result, Processor.

If your expression has any parameter, you need to assign a value to it (otherwise xFunc will throw an exception), because Processor has a build-in collection of parameters and user functions, you don't need to use ExpressionParameters directly:

processor.Solve("x := 10");

// or explicitly through Parameters property

processor.Parameters.Variables.Add("x", 10);

Simplify:

var processor = new Processor();

processor.Solve("simplify((x) => arcsin(sin(x)))");
// or
processor.Simplify("arcsin(sin(x))");
// will return simplified expression = "x"

Differentiate:

var processor = new Processor();

processor.Solve("deriv((x) => 2x)");
// or
processor.Differentiate("2x");
// will return "2"

You can specify variable (default is "x") of differentiation:

var processor = new Processor();
processor.Differentiate("2y", Variable.Y); // will return "2"
processor.Differentiate("2x + sin(y)", new Variable("x")); // will return "2"
