Glossary

Operator

• Element that represents an operation between the 2 elements next to it
• Represented by the interface KthOperator
• Example: + (a + b), / (a / b)
• Can be created using the methods createOperator and asOperator
• Can be included in a module or a context using withOperation

Function

• Element that calculates a value based on a certain number of parameters
• Represented by the interface KthFunction
• Example: sin (sin(a)), max (max(a, b))
• Can be created using the methods createFunction and asFunction
• Can be included in a module or a context using withFunction

Constant

• Element that represents a constant value
• Represented by the interface KthConstant
• Example: pi (2 pi r), e (e^x)
• Can be created using the methods createConstant and asConstant
• Can be included in a module or a context using withConstant

Module

• Group of operators, functions and constants
• Represented by the interface KthModule
• Can be created using the method buildModule
• Can be included in a module or a context using include

Context

• Object that defines all the operators, functions and constants that can be used
• Represented by the interface KthContext
• Can be created using the methods buildContext and buildDefaultContext

Expression

• Arithmetic expression that has been parsed into a sorted list of tokens
• Can be used to calculate a result
• Represented by the interface KthExpression
