<brief_description>
+ A class that stores an expression you can execute.
</brief_description>
<description>
+ An expression can be made of any arithmetic operation, built-in math function call, method call of a passed instance, or built-in type construction call.
+ An example expression text using the built-in math functions could be [code]sqrt(pow(3,2) + pow(4,2))[/code].
+ In the following example we use a [LineEdit] node to write our expression and show the result.
+ [codeblock]
+ onready var expression = Expression.new()
+
+ func _ready():
+ $LineEdit.connect("text_entered", self, "_on_text_entered")
+
+ func _on_text_entered(command):
+ var error = expression.parse(command, [])
+ if error != OK:
+ print(get_error_text())
+ return
+ var result = expression.execute([], null, true)
+ if not expression.has_execute_failed():
+ $LineEdit.text = str(result)
+ [/codeblock]
