#java #calculate #formula

solve-calculate is a simple formula parsing and calculation tool, mainly aimed at no code or business scenarios that
require custom formulas.

github: https://github.com/Sun-June/solve-calculate

The formula parsing and definition part of this project is inspired by the implementation
of javaluator.

You can also take a look at the future plans.

How to Use

  • Maven Dependency 

<dependency>
    <groupId>info.sun-june.solve</groupId>
    <artifactId>solve-calculate</artifactId>
    <version>0.8.3</version>
</dependency>

  • Simple Example：

NumberCalculator is a numeric calculator, and objects involved in the operation must be numeric. It also provides a
mixed calculator implementation, which can perform conditional and string calculations, as explained later.

assertEquals is an assertion method used to verify that the results on both sides are the same.

public class NumberCalculatorTest {
    @Test
    void base_test() throws Exception {
        NumberCalculator calculator = new NumberCalculator();

        assertEquals(calculator.calculation("1 + 1"), 2);
        assertEquals(calculator.calculation("-1 + -100 + 11 * 10"), 9);
        assertEquals(calculator.calculation("-1 + -100 + 11 * 10 - 10 * 2 + sum(2, 3)"), -6);
        assertEquals(calculator.calculation("-1 + -100 + 11 * 10  + sum(1, 2, 5 * 2, min(5, 6, avg(8, 9 / 3 , 10 + 2 + (5 - 3))))"), 27);
        assertEquals(calculator.calculation("-1 + -100 + 11 * 10 / 2 + 5 / 2"), -43.5d);
        assertEquals(calculator.calculation("1 + round(3.15 * 2.45, 2, \"ROUND_UP\")"), 8.72d);
        assertEquals(calculator.calculation("1 + round(3.15 * 2.45, 2, \"ROUND_DOWN\")"), 8.71d);
        assertEquals(calculator.calculation("1 + 2 ^ 3 / 2 + 1"), 6);
        assertEquals(calculator.calculation("2 + 5 % 2000‰ + 1"), 4);
        assertEquals(calculator.calculation("2 + round( 2 * π * 7, 0) + 1"), 47);
    }

Features

Simple calculation formula validity check

Example：

public class NumberCalculatorTest {
    @Test
    void errorCheck() {
        NumberCalculator calculator = new NumberCalculator();
        String input = "π + sum(10, min(, 10)) - 10";

        FormulaException ex = assertThrows(FormulaException.class, () -> calculator.checkFormula(input));
        assertEquals(FormulaError.ARGUMENT_MISSING, ex.error);
        assertEquals(",", input.substring(ex.startIndex, ex.endIndex));

    }
}

  • Use the checkFormula method to check if the formula is correct.
  • In case of an error, a FormulaException is thrown.
  • error represents the error code of the exception, and each code corresponds to an enum that you can use for internationalized error messages.
  • startIndex and endIndex indicate the starting and ending positions of the error in the formula.
  • With this information, you can better provide error messages and check the correctness of the formula.

Retrieval of Calculation History

Example：

public class NumberCalculatorTest {
    @Test
    void record_test() throws Exception {
        NumberCalculator calculator = new NumberCalculator();

        BothValue<Number, Context<Number>> bothValue = calculator.calculationBoth("-1 + -100 + 11 * 10  + sum(1, 2, 5 * 2, min(5, 6, avg(8, 9 / 3 , 10 + 2 + (5 - 3))))");

        assertEquals(bothValue.getLeft(), 27);
        Gson gson = new Gson();
        for (CalculationRecord record : bothValue.getRight().recordList) {
            if (record.kind != Kind.LITERAL) {
                System.out.println("record::" + gson.toJson(record));
            }
        }
    }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output：

record::{"arithmetic":"-","index":0,"values":[1.0],"result":-1,"kind":"MONADIC_OPERATOR"}
record::{"arithmetic":"-","index":5,"values":[100.0],"result":-100,"kind":"MONADIC_OPERATOR"}

  • You can use the calculationBoth method to get an object that includes the calculation result and the context.
  • The context contains the entire calculation history in the recordList field.
    • The order of calculation records corresponds to the actual calculation order.
    • arithmetic represents the original string used for the calculation.
    • index indicates the position in the formula.
    • values stores the values involved in the calculation (in the order they were passed for the operation).
    • result represents the result of this calculation.
    • kind represents the type of calculation.

Accurate identification of issues arising during calculations

Example：

public class NumberCalculatorTest {
    @Test
    void calculationError() {
        MixedCalculator calculator = new MixedCalculator();
        String input = "100 - 50 / (2 - min(2, 2000)) + 1";
        CalculationException ex = assertThrows(CalculationException.class, () -> calculator.calculation(input));
        assertEquals(ex.getErrorInfo(), StandardError.DIVISION_BY_ZERO);
        assertEquals(ex.context.pendingItem.source, "/");
        Gson gson = new Gson();
        List<CalculationRecord> recordList = ex.context.recordList;
        for (CalculationRecord record : recordList) {
            if (record.kind != Kind.LITERAL) {
                System.out.println("record:" + gson.toJson(record));
            }
        }
    }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output：

record:{"arithmetic":"min","index":16,"values":[2.0,2000.0],"result":2.0,"kind":"FUNCTION"}
record:{"arithmetic":"-","index":14,"values":[2.0,2.0],"result":0,"kind":"OPERATOR"}
record:{"arithmetic":"/","index":9,"values":[50.0,0],"kind":"OPERATOR"}

  • You can access the problematic pendingItem in the exception's bound context.
  • You can obtain the corresponding error message, the source string, and the coordinates.
  • The execution records still contain successfully computed entries.

Simple Variable Substitution

Example：

public class NumberContext extends Context<Number> {

    @Override
    public Number getLiteralValue(String literal) {
        Number value = super.getLiteralValue(literal);
        value = value == null ? getNumberValue(literal) : value;
        if (value != null) {
            return value;
        }
        return null;
    }

    public static Number getNumberValue(String literal) {
        if ("π".equals(literal)) {
            return Math.PI;
        }
        return ValueUtil.getNumberByString(literal);
    }

}

  • The provided example defines a context for numeric operations (you can extend NumberContext to customize the context you need).
  • It includes handling the conversion of π to a numeric value.
  • By following this approach, you can define which variables can be substituted into the formula for calculations.

Simple Function and Operator Extensions

  • You can also add or adjust supported calculation functions and operators.
    • Override the corresponding retrieval methods in NumberCalculator or MixedCalculator to adjust what is involved in the calculation.
    • Alternatively, you can directly extend Calculator to design your own calculator utility class.
  • For extending calculation functions, refer to the implementations in the info.sunjune.solve.calculation.function package, such as info.sunjune.solve.calculation.function.NumberFunction.
  • For extending operators, refer to the implementations in the info.sunjune.solve.calculation.operator package, such as info.sunjune.solve.calculation.operator.AdditionNumberOperator.

Mixed Calculator

Example：

public class MixedCalculatorTest {
    @Test
    void baseTest() throws Exception {
        MixedCalculator calculator = new MixedCalculator();

        assertEquals(calculator.calculation("-1 + -100 + 11 * 10 + \"abc\""), "9abc");
        assertEquals(calculator.calculation("if(1 * 10 > 5, 10, \"abc\") + 2"), 12);

        assertEquals(calculator.calculation("if(1 * 10 < 5, 10, \"abc\") + 2"), "abc2");
        assertEquals(calculator.calculation("if(1 * 10 <= 5 * 2, 10, \"abc\") + 2"), 12);
        assertEquals(calculator.calculation("if(1 * 10 <= 5 * 2 || 10 < 3, 10, \"abc\") + 2"), 12);
        assertEquals(calculator.calculation("if(1 * 10 <= 5 * 2 && 1 == 1, 10, \"abc\") + 2"), 12);
    }
}

  • In the mixed calculator implementation, + can be used for string operations (other non-numeric objects are also converted to strings for calculations).
  • It supports comparison operators (> >= < <= == !=) and logical operators (&& ||).

Future Plans

  • 0.8.0
    • Enhance code comments
    • Add support for common calculation functions
    • Publish to the Maven Central Repository
  • 0.9.0
    • Add support for chained calculations, as follows:
      • ProjectA, calculation formula: num + 100, where num is a custom variable
      • ProjectB, calculation formula: ProjectA - 9
      • ProjectC, calculation formula: ProjectA + ProjectB
    • Add checks for chained calculations to prevent cycles
    • Add features for recording chained calculations and more
  • 1.0.0
    • Continue to enhance chained calculations
    • Add support for table-like data in chained calculations, including:
      • Calculations for each row of multi-row data, allowing the introduction of variables from outside the data
      • Limited support for accessing data outside the multi-row data
  • Post 1.0.0
    • Routine maintenance
    • Introduce a TypeScript version, allowing Node.js or front-end applications to achieve the same functionality
    • Release Java 21 version (as a separate project), which may utilize features like virtual threads to accelerate computation
