Good day and thanks in advance for any help and ideas with my question...
I am a newbie programmer primarily interested in writing simple numerical integrators and root finders and evaluators...
Such as, Euler's Method for approximating integrals and Newton's method for finding roots...Horner's Method for evaluating a polynomail....
So I have some books on the topic of writing the code for the functions (class objects)
which assume that the source function is provided.
Is there a way to have the user input an equation and store it as a string or other, and have that string converted into code ?
I suppose there must be since matlab and others have a way of doing it....
I can only hope that it is not too outside of my understanding..
peace
