For your convenience I post example code as Console Application:
using System;
class ProgramConsole {
private const string StrGivenFn = "Math.Pow(x, 3) + (3 * Math.Pow(x, 2)) -
(10 * x)";
public static double givenFn(double x) {
return (Math.Pow(x, 3) + (3 * Math.Pow(x, 2)) - (10 * x));
// The expression following return statement is
// same as the constant StrGivenFn. How can StrGivenFn be used?
}
static void Main(string[] args) {
Console.WriteLine("f(x) = " + StrGivenFn);
Console.WriteLine("f(x) = " + givenFn(6) + " at x=6");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
You want to evaluate a C# expression at runtime ?
You can call the compiler.
Below are some code to get you started.
