Expression
==========
**Inherits:** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`
A class that stores an expression you can execute.
.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group
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 ``sqrt(pow(3, 2) + pow(4, 2))``.
In the following example we use a :ref:`LineEdit<class_LineEdit>` node to write our expression and show the result.
.. tabs::
.. code-tab:: gdscript
var expression = Expression.new()
func _ready():
$LineEdit.text_submitted.connect(self._on_text_submitted)
func _on_text_submitted(command):
var error = expression.parse(command)
if error != OK:
print(expression.get_error_text())
return
var result = expression.execute()
if not expression.has_execute_failed():
$LineEdit.text = str(result)
.. code-tab:: csharp
private Expression _expression = new Expression();
public override void _Ready()
{
GetNode<LineEdit>("LineEdit").TextSubmitted += OnTextEntered;
}
private void OnTextEntered(string command)
{
Error error = _expression.Parse(command);
if (error != Error.Ok)
{
GD.Print(_expression.GetErrorText());
return;
}
Variant result = _expression.Execute();
if (!_expression.HasExecuteFailed())
{
GetNode<LineEdit>("LineEdit").Text = result.ToString();
}
}

Method Descriptions
-------------------
.. _class_Expression_method_execute:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
:ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` **execute**\ (\ inputs\: :ref:`Array<class_Array>` = [], base_instance\: :ref:`Object<class_Object>` = null, show_error\: :ref:`bool<class_bool>` = true, const_calls_only\: :ref:`bool<class_bool>` = false\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_Expression_method_execute>`
Executes the expression that was previously parsed by :ref:`parse<class_Expression_method_parse>` and returns the result. Before you use the returned object, you should check if the method failed by calling :ref:`has_execute_failed<class_Expression_method_has_execute_failed>`.
If you defined input variables in :ref:`parse<class_Expression_method_parse>`, you can specify their values in the inputs array, in the same order.
.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator
----
.. _class_Expression_method_get_error_text:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
:ref:`String<class_String>` **get_error_text**\ (\ ) |const| :ref:`🔗<class_Expression_method_get_error_text>`
Returns the error text if :ref:`parse<class_Expression_method_parse>` or :ref:`execute<class_Expression_method_execute>` has failed.
.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator
----
.. _class_Expression_method_has_execute_failed:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **has_execute_failed**\ (\ ) |const| :ref:`🔗<class_Expression_method_has_execute_failed>`
Returns ``true`` if :ref:`execute<class_Expression_method_execute>` has failed.
.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator
----
.. _class_Expression_method_parse:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
:ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` **parse**\ (\ expression\: :ref:`String<class_String>`, input_names\: :ref:`PackedStringArray<class_PackedStringArray>` = PackedStringArray()\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_Expression_method_parse>`
Parses the expression and returns an :ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` code.
You can optionally specify names of variables that may appear in the expression with ``input_names``, so that you can bind them when it gets executed.
.. |virtual| replace:: :abbr:`virtual (This method should typically be overridden by the user to have any effect.)`
.. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)`
.. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)`
.. |constructor| replace:: :abbr:`constructor (This method is used to construct a type.)`
.. |static| replace:: :abbr:`static (This method doesn't need an instance to be called, so it can be called directly using the class name.)`
.. |operator| replace:: :abbr:`operator (This method describes a valid operator to use with this type as left-hand operand.)`
.. |bitfield| replace:: :abbr:`BitField (This value is an integer composed as a bitmask of the following flags.)`
.. |void| replace:: :abbr:`void (No return value.)`
