\subsection{parse}
\label{labparse}
\noindent Name: \textbf{parse}\\
\phantom{aaa}parses an expression contained in a string\\[0.2cm]
\noindent Library name:\\
\verb| sollya_obj_t sollya_lib_parse(sollya_obj_t)|\\[0.2cm]
\noindent Usage:
\begin{center}
\textbf{parse}(\emph{string}) : \textsf{string} $\rightarrow$ \textsf{function} $|$ \textsf{error}\\
\end{center}
Parameters:
\begin{itemize}
\item \emph{string} represents a character sequence
\end{itemize}
\noindent Description: \begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{parse}(\emph{string}) parses the character sequence \emph{string} containing
an expression built on constants and base functions.
If the character sequence does not contain a well-defined expression,
a warning is displayed indicating a syntax error and \textbf{parse} returns
a \textbf{error} of type \textsf{error}.
\item The character sequence to be parsed by \textbf{parse} may contain commands that
return expressions, including \textbf{parse} itself. Those commands get executed after the string has been parsed.
\textbf{parse}(\emph{string}) will return the expression computed by the commands contained in the character
sequence \emph{string}.
\end{itemize}
\noindent Example 1:
\begin{center}\begin{minipage}{15cm}\begin{Verbatim}[frame=single]
> parse("exp(x)");
exp(x)
\end{Verbatim}
\end{minipage}\end{center}
\noindent Example 2:
\begin{center}\begin{minipage}{15cm}\begin{Verbatim}[frame=single]
> text = "remez(exp(x),5,[-1;1])";
> print("The string", text, "gives", parse(text));
The string remez(exp(x),5,[-1;1]) gives 8.73819098827562036768683157316876049039
64388498642e-3 * x^5 + 4.3793696379596015478233171265365272893795005588381e-2 *

\end{Verbatim}
\end{minipage}\end{center}
\noindent Example 3:
\begin{center}\begin{minipage}{15cm}\begin{Verbatim}[frame=single]
> verbosity = 1!;
> parse("5 + * 3");
Warning: syntax error, unexpected *. Will try to continue parsing (expecting ";"
). May leak memory.
Warning: the string "5 + * 3" could not be parsed by the miniparser.
Warning: at least one of the given expressions or a subexpression is not correct
ly typed
or its evaluation has failed because of some error on a side-effect.
error
\end{Verbatim}
\end{minipage}\end{center}
