\subsection{evaluate}
\label{labevaluate}
\noindent Name: \textbf{evaluate}\\
\phantom{aaa}evaluates a function at a constant point or in a range\\[0.2cm]
\noindent Library name:\\
\verb| sollya_obj_t sollya_lib_evaluate(sollya_obj_t, sollya_obj_t)|\\[0.2cm]
\noindent Usage:
\begin{center}
\textbf{evaluate}(\emph{function}, \emph{constant}) : (\textsf{function}, \textsf{constant}) $\rightarrow$ \textsf{constant} $|$ \textsf{range}\\
\textbf{evaluate}(\emph{function}, \emph{range}) : (\textsf{function}, \textsf{range}) $\rightarrow$ \textsf{range}\\
\textbf{evaluate}(\emph{function}, \emph{function2}) : (\textsf{function}, \textsf{function}) $\rightarrow$ \textsf{function}\\
\end{center}
Parameters:
\begin{itemize}
\item \emph{function} represents a function
\item \emph{constant} represents a constant point
\item \emph{range} represents a range
\item \emph{function2} represents a function that is not constant
\end{itemize}
\noindent Description: \begin{itemize}
\item If its second argument is a constant \emph{constant}, \textbf{evaluate} evaluates
its first argument \emph{function} at the point indicated by
\emph{constant}. This evaluation is performed in a way that the result is a
faithful rounding of the real value of the \emph{function} at \emph{constant} to
the current global precision. If such a faithful rounding is not
possible, \textbf{evaluate} returns a range surely encompassing the real value
of the function \emph{function} at \emph{constant}. If even interval evaluation
is not possible because the expression is undefined or numerically
unstable, NaN will be produced.
\item If its second argument is a range \emph{range}, \textbf{evaluate} evaluates its
first argument \emph{function} by interval evaluation on this range
\emph{range}. This ensures that the image domain of the function \emph{function}
on the preimage domain \emph{range} is surely enclosed in the returned
range.
\item In the case when the second argument is a range that is reduced to a
single point (such that $[1;\,1]$ for instance), the evaluation
is performed in the same way as when the second argument is a constant but
it produces a range as a result: \textbf{evaluate} automatically adjusts the precision
of the intern computations and returns a range that contains at most three floating-point
consecutive numbers in precision \textbf{prec}. This corresponds to the same accuracy
as a faithful rounding of the actual result. If such a faithful rounding
is not possible, \textbf{evaluate} has the same behavior as in the case when the
second argument is a constant.
\item If its second argument is a function \emph{function2} that is not a
constant, \textbf{evaluate} replaces all occurrences of the free variable in
function \emph{function} by function \emph{function2}.
\end{itemize}
