I have a string like the following:
String str = "4*5";
Now I have to get the result of 20 by using the string.
I know in some other languages the eval() function will do this.
How can I do this in Java?
You can use the ScriptEngine class and evaluate it as a Javascript string.
ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager();
ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByName("js");
Object result = engine.eval("4*5");
There may be a better way, but this one works.
There is no standard Java class or method that will do what you want. Your options include:
Select and use some third-party expression evaluation library. For example JEL or any of the half dozen libraries listed here.
Wrap the expression in the Java source code for a class with an eval method, send that to the Java compiler, and then load the resulting compiled class.
Use some scripting language that can be called from Java as an expression evaluator. Possibilities include Javascript1, BeanShell, and so on. A JSR 223 compliant scripting language implementation can be called via the Scripting API.
Write your own expression evaluator from scratch.
The first approach is probably simplest. The second and third approaches are a potential security risk if you get the expression to be evaluated from an untrusted user. (Think code injection.)
1 - Javascript in Java SE is a moving target. From Java 6, a version of Mozilla's Rhino Javascript implementation was bundled with Java SE. The in Java 8, it was superseded by Nashorn. In Java 11, Nashorn was deprecated, and finally dropped from the core codebase. As of 2021, both Rhino and Nashorn are being maintained as separate (non-Oracle) products, and Oracle's GraalVM has its own Javascript implementation.
There are very few real use cases in which being able to evaluate a String as a fragment of Java code is necessary or desirable. That is, asking how to do this is really an XY problem: you actually have a different problem, which can be solved a different way.
First ask yourself, where did this String that you wish to evaluate come from? Did another part of your program generate it, or was it input provided by the user?
Another part of my program generated it: so, you want one part of your program to decide the kind of operation to perform, but not perform the operation, and a second part that performs the chosen operation. Instead of generating and then evaluating a String, use the Strategy, Command or Builder design pattern, as appropriate for your particular case.
It is user input: the user could input anything, including commands that, when executed, could cause your program to misbehave, crash, expose information that should be secret, damage persistent information (such as the content of a database), and other such nastiness. The only way to prevent that would be to parse the String yourself, check it was not malicious, and then evaluate it. But parsing it yourself is much of the work that the requested evalfunction would do, so you have saved yourself nothing. Worse still, checking that arbitrary Java was not malicious is impossible, because checking that is the halting problem.
It is user input, but the syntax and semantics of permitted text to evaluate is greatly restricted: No general purpose facility can easily implement a general purpose parser and evaluator for whatever restricted syntax and semantics you have chosen. What you need to do is implement a parser and evaluator for your chosen syntax and semantics. If the task is simple, you could write a simple recursive-descent or finite-state-machine parser by hand. If the task is difficult, you could use a compiler-compiler (such as ANTLR) to do some of the work for you.
I just want to implement a desktop calculator!: A homework assignment, eh? If you could implement the evaluation of the input expression using a provided eval function, it would not be much of a homework assignment, would it? Your program would be three lines long. Your instructor probably expects you to write the code for a simple arithmetic parser/evaluator. There is well known algorithm, shunting-yard, which you might find useful.
With Java 9, we get access to jshell, so one can write something like this:
import jdk.jshell.JShell;
import java.lang.StringBuilder;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Eval {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
try(JShell js = JShell.create(); BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in))) {
js.onSnippetEvent(snip -> {
if (snip.status() == jdk.jshell.Snippet.Status.VALID) {
System.out.println("➜ " + snip.value());
}
});
System.out.print("> ");
for (String line = br.readLine(); line != null; line = br.readLine()) {
js.eval(js.sourceCodeAnalysis().analyzeCompletion(line).source());
System.out.print("> ");
}
}
}
}
Sample run:
> 1 + 2 / 4 * 3
➜ 1
> 32 * 121
➜ 3872
> 4 * 5
➜ 20
> 121 * 51
➜ 6171
>
Slightly op, but that's what Java currently has to offer
I could advise you to use Exp4j. It is easy to understand as you can see from the following example code:
Expression e = new ExpressionBuilder("3 * sin(y) - 2 / (x - 2)")
.variables("x", "y")
.build()
.setVariable("x", 2.3)
.setVariable("y", 3.14);
double result = e.evaluate();
No, you can not have a generic "eval" in Java (or any compiled language). Unless you're willing to write a Java compiler AND a JVM to be executed inside of your Java program.
Yes, you can have some library to evaluate numeric algebraic expressions like the one above - see this thread for discussion.
As previous answers, there is no standard API in Java for this.
You can add groovy jar files to your path and groovy.util.Eval.me("4*5") gets your job done.
A fun way to solve your problem could be coding an eval() function on your own!
I've done it for you!
You can use FunctionSolver library simply by typing FunctionSolver.solveByX(function,value) inside your code. The function attribute is a String which represents the function you want to solve, the value attribute is the value of the independent variable
of your function (which MUST be x).
If you want to solve a function which contains more than one independent variable, you can use FunctionSolver.solve(function,values) where the values attribute is an HashMap(String,Double) which contains all your independent attributes (as Strings) and their respective values (as Doubles).
Another piece of information: I've coded a simple version of FunctionSolver, so its supports only Math methods which return a double value and which accepts one or two double values as fields (just use FunctionSolver.usableMathMethods() if you're curious) (These methods are: bs, sin, cos, tan, atan2, sqrt, log, log10, pow, exp, min, max, copySign, signum, IEEEremainder, acos, asin, atan, cbrt, ceil, cosh, expm1, floor, hypot, log1p, nextAfter, nextDown, nextUp, random, rint, sinh, tanh, toDegrees, toRadians, ulp). Also, that library supports the following operators: * / + - ^ (even if java normally does not support the ^ operator).
One last thing: while creating this library I had to use reflections to call Math methods. I think it's really cool, just have a look at this if you are interested in!

Writing your own library is not that hard as u might thing. Here is link for Shunting-yard algorithm with step by step algorithm explenation. Although, you will have to parse the input for tokens first.
There are 2 other questions wich can give you some information too:

There are some perfectly capable answers here. However for non-trivial script it may be desirable to retain the code in a cache, or for debugging purposes, or even to have dynamically self-updating code.
To that end, sometimes it's simpler or more robust to interact with Java via command line. Create a temporary directory, output your script and any assets, create the jar. Finally import your new code.
It's a bit beyond the scope of normal eval() use in most languages, though you could certainly implement eval by returning the result from some function in your jar.
Still, thought I'd mention this method as it does fully encapsulate everything Java can do without 3rd party tools, in case of desperation. This method allows me to turn HTML templates into objects and save them, avoiding the need to parse a template at runtime.

If you do not want to import heavy scripting library, you can use SimpleExpressionEvaluator directly into your code
Usage:
Expression.eval("1+2").asString(); // returns "3.0"
Expression.eval("1+2").asInt(); // returns 3
Expression.eval("2>3").asString(); // returns "false"
Expression.eval("2>3").asBoolean(); // returns false
Expression.eval("(3>2)||((2<4)&&(2>1))").asString(); // returns "true"
With variables:
HashMap<String, Object> st = new HashMap<String, Object>();
st.put("a",1);
st.put("b",2);
st.put("c",3);
st.put("d",4);
Expression.eval("a+b", st).asInt(); // or simply asString()
Expression.eval("a>b",st).asBoolean(); // or simply asString()
Expression.eval("(c>b)||((b<d)&&(b>a))",st).asBoolean(); // or simply asString()
Expression.eval("(c>2)||((2<d)&&(b>1))",st).asBoolean(); // or simply asString()
Using ExpressionBuilder:
Expression.expressionBuilder().putSymbol("a",2).putSymbol("b",3).build("(b>a)").evaluate()
The following resolved the issue:
ScriptEngineManager mgr = new ScriptEngineManager();
ScriptEngine engine = mgr.getEngineByName("JavaScript");
String str = "4*5";
System.out.println(engine.eval(str));

i need some expert help to resoled this sonar issue. I thing different way to extract code fragment , breakdown this method to little parts.but still couldn't find some proper way to do it.
It's not difficult to clear, i think:
Use simple For loop
Create more small methods to do small(clear) things for For loop
Block if/esle: use simple statement
Hint: Study TDD to write clean code as possible
I have a string like the following:
String str = "4*5";
Now I have to get the result of 20 by using the string.
I know in some other languages the eval() function will do this.
How can I do this in Java?
You can use the ScriptEngine class and evaluate it as a Javascript string.
ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager();
ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByName("js");
Object result = engine.eval("4*5");
There may be a better way, but this one works.
There is no standard Java class or method that will do what you want. Your options include:
Select and use some third-party expression evaluation library. For example JEL or any of the half dozen libraries listed here.
Wrap the expression in the Java source code for a class with an eval method, send that to the Java compiler, and then load the resulting compiled class.
Use some scripting language that can be called from Java as an expression evaluator. Possibilities include Javascript1, BeanShell, and so on. A JSR 223 compliant scripting language implementation can be called via the Scripting API.
Write your own expression evaluator from scratch.
The first approach is probably simplest. The second and third approaches are a potential security risk if you get the expression to be evaluated from an untrusted user. (Think code injection.)
1 - Javascript in Java SE is a moving target. From Java 6, a version of Mozilla's Rhino Javascript implementation was bundled with Java SE. The in Java 8, it was superseded by Nashorn. In Java 11, Nashorn was deprecated, and finally dropped from the core codebase. As of 2021, both Rhino and Nashorn are being maintained as separate (non-Oracle) products, and Oracle's GraalVM has its own Javascript implementation.
There are very few real use cases in which being able to evaluate a String as a fragment of Java code is necessary or desirable. That is, asking how to do this is really an XY problem: you actually have a different problem, which can be solved a different way.
First ask yourself, where did this String that you wish to evaluate come from? Did another part of your program generate it, or was it input provided by the user?
Another part of my program generated it: so, you want one part of your program to decide the kind of operation to perform, but not perform the operation, and a second part that performs the chosen operation. Instead of generating and then evaluating a String, use the Strategy, Command or Builder design pattern, as appropriate for your particular case.
It is user input: the user could input anything, including commands that, when executed, could cause your program to misbehave, crash, expose information that should be secret, damage persistent information (such as the content of a database), and other such nastiness. The only way to prevent that would be to parse the String yourself, check it was not malicious, and then evaluate it. But parsing it yourself is much of the work that the requested evalfunction would do, so you have saved yourself nothing. Worse still, checking that arbitrary Java was not malicious is impossible, because checking that is the halting problem.
It is user input, but the syntax and semantics of permitted text to evaluate is greatly restricted: No general purpose facility can easily implement a general purpose parser and evaluator for whatever restricted syntax and semantics you have chosen. What you need to do is implement a parser and evaluator for your chosen syntax and semantics. If the task is simple, you could write a simple recursive-descent or finite-state-machine parser by hand. If the task is difficult, you could use a compiler-compiler (such as ANTLR) to do some of the work for you.
I just want to implement a desktop calculator!: A homework assignment, eh? If you could implement the evaluation of the input expression using a provided eval function, it would not be much of a homework assignment, would it? Your program would be three lines long. Your instructor probably expects you to write the code for a simple arithmetic parser/evaluator. There is well known algorithm, shunting-yard, which you might find useful.
With Java 9, we get access to jshell, so one can write something like this:
import jdk.jshell.JShell;
import java.lang.StringBuilder;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Eval {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
try(JShell js = JShell.create(); BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in))) {
js.onSnippetEvent(snip -> {
if (snip.status() == jdk.jshell.Snippet.Status.VALID) {
System.out.println("➜ " + snip.value());
}
});
System.out.print("> ");
for (String line = br.readLine(); line != null; line = br.readLine()) {
js.eval(js.sourceCodeAnalysis().analyzeCompletion(line).source());
System.out.print("> ");
}
}
}
}
Sample run:
> 1 + 2 / 4 * 3
➜ 1
> 32 * 121
➜ 3872
> 4 * 5
➜ 20
> 121 * 51
➜ 6171
>
Slightly op, but that's what Java currently has to offer
I could advise you to use Exp4j. It is easy to understand as you can see from the following example code:
Expression e = new ExpressionBuilder("3 * sin(y) - 2 / (x - 2)")
.variables("x", "y")
.build()
.setVariable("x", 2.3)
.setVariable("y", 3.14);
double result = e.evaluate();
No, you can not have a generic "eval" in Java (or any compiled language). Unless you're willing to write a Java compiler AND a JVM to be executed inside of your Java program.
Yes, you can have some library to evaluate numeric algebraic expressions like the one above - see this thread for discussion.
As previous answers, there is no standard API in Java for this.
You can add groovy jar files to your path and groovy.util.Eval.me("4*5") gets your job done.
A fun way to solve your problem could be coding an eval() function on your own!
I've done it for you!
You can use FunctionSolver library simply by typing FunctionSolver.solveByX(function,value) inside your code. The function attribute is a String which represents the function you want to solve, the value attribute is the value of the independent variable
of your function (which MUST be x).
If you want to solve a function which contains more than one independent variable, you can use FunctionSolver.solve(function,values) where the values attribute is an HashMap(String,Double) which contains all your independent attributes (as Strings) and their respective values (as Doubles).
Another piece of information: I've coded a simple version of FunctionSolver, so its supports only Math methods which return a double value and which accepts one or two double values as fields (just use FunctionSolver.usableMathMethods() if you're curious) (These methods are: bs, sin, cos, tan, atan2, sqrt, log, log10, pow, exp, min, max, copySign, signum, IEEEremainder, acos, asin, atan, cbrt, ceil, cosh, expm1, floor, hypot, log1p, nextAfter, nextDown, nextUp, random, rint, sinh, tanh, toDegrees, toRadians, ulp). Also, that library supports the following operators: * / + - ^ (even if java normally does not support the ^ operator).
One last thing: while creating this library I had to use reflections to call Math methods. I think it's really cool, just have a look at this if you are interested in!

Writing your own library is not that hard as u might thing. Here is link for Shunting-yard algorithm with step by step algorithm explenation. Although, you will have to parse the input for tokens first.
There are 2 other questions wich can give you some information too:

Please find the updated gist anytime here. Also comment if any issues are there. Thanks.
There are some perfectly capable answers here. However for non-trivial script it may be desirable to retain the code in a cache, or for debugging purposes, or even to have dynamically self-updating code.
To that end, sometimes it's simpler or more robust to interact with Java via command line. Create a temporary directory, output your script and any assets, create the jar. Finally import your new code.
It's a bit beyond the scope of normal eval() use in most languages, though you could certainly implement eval by returning the result from some function in your jar.
Still, thought I'd mention this method as it does fully encapsulate everything Java can do without 3rd party tools, in case of desperation. This method allows me to turn HTML templates into objects and save them, avoiding the need to parse a template at runtime.

If you do not want to import heavy scripting library, you can use SimpleExpressionEvaluator directly into your code
Usage:
Expression.eval("1+2").asString(); // returns "3.0"
Expression.eval("1+2").asInt(); // returns 3
Expression.eval("2>3").asString(); // returns "false"
Expression.eval("2>3").asBoolean(); // returns false
Expression.eval("(3>2)||((2<4)&&(2>1))").asString(); // returns "true"
With variables:
HashMap<String, Object> st = new HashMap<String, Object>();
st.put("a",1);
st.put("b",2);
st.put("c",3);
st.put("d",4);
Expression.eval("a+b", st).asInt(); // or simply asString()
Expression.eval("a>b",st).asBoolean(); // or simply asString()
Expression.eval("(c>b)||((b<d)&&(b>a))",st).asBoolean(); // or simply asString()
Expression.eval("(c>2)||((2<d)&&(b>1))",st).asBoolean(); // or simply asString()
Using ExpressionBuilder:
Expression.expressionBuilder().putSymbol("a",2).putSymbol("b",3).build("(b>a)").evaluate()
The following resolved the issue:
ScriptEngineManager mgr = new ScriptEngineManager();
ScriptEngine engine = mgr.getEngineByName("JavaScript");
String str = "4*5";
System.out.println(engine.eval(str));
I'm using a TextWatcher for editing values while entering in EditText
here is my TextWatcher
public class NumberTextWatcher implements TextWatcher {
private DecimalFormat df;
private DecimalFormat dfnd;
private boolean hasFractionalPart;
private EditText et;
public NumberTextWatcher(EditText et)
{
df = new DecimalFormat("#,###");
df.setDecimalSeparatorAlwaysShown(true);
dfnd = new DecimalFormat("#,###");
this.et = et;
hasFractionalPart = false;
}
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
private static final String TAG = "NumberTextWatcher";
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s)
{
et.removeTextChangedListener(this);
try {
int inilen, endlen;
inilen = et.getText().length();
String v = s.toString().replace(String.valueOf(df.getDecimalFormatSymbols().getGroupingSeparator()), "");
Number n = df.parse(v);
int cp = et.getSelectionStart();
if (hasFractionalPart) {
et.setText(df.format(n));
} else {
et.setText(dfnd.format(n));
}
endlen = et.getText().length();
int sel = (cp + (endlen - inilen));
if (sel > 0 && sel <= et.getText().length()) {
et.setSelection(sel);
} else {
// place cursor at the end?
et.setSelection(et.getText().length() - 1);
}
} catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
// do nothing?
} catch (ParseException e) {
// do nothing?
}
et.addTextChangedListener(this);
}
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after)
{
}
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count)
{
if (s.toString().contains(String.valueOf(df.getDecimalFormatSymbols().getDecimalSeparator())))
{
hasFractionalPart = true;
} else {
hasFractionalPart = false;
}
}
after that, I try to Parse the values to doubles using this code :
String amount1 = amount.getText().toString().replaceAll("[^\\d]", "");
String duration1 = duration.getText().toString().replaceAll("[^\\d]", "");
String interest1 = interest.getText().toString().replaceAll("[^\\d]", "");
But the problem i have is that when Device Default language is not English, it can parse the string to Doubles, so i think i set US Locale for editTexts! is this possible? if not, what should i do in order to be able to parse values to doubles?
DecimalFormat formatter = (DecimalFormat) NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.US);
When you have control over the back-end I find it easiest to deal with what language you are expecting and have done extensive tests on. Therefore, when handling file IO on files that I have internally, I always call the call that you have at the end of your comment there before any file creation code is performed. In my case it would be
final DecimalFormat decimalFormat = (DecimalFormat) NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.ENGLISH); //Format our data to two decimal places for brightness change.
String stringFormat = "#0.00";
decimalFormat.applyPattern(stringFormat);
decimalFormat.format(dataString);
Then, no matter what language the device is actually set to, you are always dealing with the locale that you are accustomed to. And this will aide in handling other languages that might use different number formats for instance in this case since I was handling numerics. Since you are dealing with doubles you might be approaching this numeric translation issue. But if you are dealing with inputs from an EditText, this particular approach that was only on my back-end might not be applicable. But I thought communicating my approach might still be somewhat helpful; hopefully anyways. Doesn't hurt to share.
I have an issue with an Apache POI XSSF in that it is not reading blank cell value.
I hava a class that implements DefaultHandler. In that class all non-blank cells are able to read from startElement and endElement methods.
I want to read blank cells in middle of the data cells.
Can anyone provide an example of how to do so or directions as to how to debug this?
Ran into this very same problem today. I was using the XSSF event model. But XSSF wouldn't give a column element nor a value element for the blank columns. Most probably because the backing XML is that way.
The key is to check the attribute for the cell reference (you know the A1, A2, A3 that Excel uses). Attributes are passed to the startElement() callback method. We can then detect missing cell references. So if we got L1 for the previous column element and get N1 for the current column element, we know M1 is the blank/missing cell.
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes atts) throws SAXException {
if (qName.equals("c")) {
String newColRef = atts.getValue("r");
coverColumnDistanceWithNulls(currentColRef, newColRef);
And coverColumnDistanceWithNulls() simply adds nulls for each missing cell reference between currentColRef and newColRef
private void coverColumnDistanceWithNulls(String fromColRefString, String toColRefString) {
int colRefDistance = getDistance(fromColRefString, toColRefString);
while (colRefDistance > 1) {
logger.debug("Covering distance with null");
rowValues.add(null);
--colRefDistance;
}
}
private int getDistance(String fromColRefString, String toColRefString) {
String fromColRef = getExcelCellRef(fromColRefString);
String toColRef = getExcelCellRef(toColRefString);
logger.debug("fromCol: {} toCol: {}", new Object[] {fromColRefString, toColRefString});
return excelCellReferenceOrder.get(toColRef) - excelCellReferenceOrder.get(fromColRef);
}
private String getExcelCellRef(String fromColRef) {
if (fromColRef != null) {
int i = 0;
for (;i < fromColRef.length(); i++) {
if (Character.isDigit(fromColRef.charAt(i))) {
break;
}
}
if (i == 0) {
return fromColRef;
}
else {
return fromColRef.substring(0, i);
}
}
return null;
}
Building off Sab Than's answer:
private void coverColumnDistance(String fromColRefString, String toColRefString) {
int colRefDistance = getDistance(fromColRefString, toColRefString);
while (colRefDistance > 0) {
c = getRow().addCell("");
colRefDistance--;
}
}
private int getDistance(String fromColRefString, String toColRefString) {
String fromColRef = getExcelCellRef(fromColRefString);
String toColRef = getExcelCellRef(toColRefString);
int distance = 0;
if (fromColRef == null || fromColRef.compareTo(toColRef) > 0)
return getDistance("A", toColRefString) + 1;
if (fromColRef != null && toColRef != null) {
while (fromColRef.length() < toColRef.length() || fromColRef.compareTo(toColRef) < 0) {
distance++;
fromColRef = increment(fromColRef);
}
}
return distance;
}
public String increment(String s) {
int length = s.length();
char c = s.charAt(length - 1);
if(c == 'Z') {
return length > 1 ? increment(s.substring(0, length - 1)) + 'A' : "AA";
}
return s.substring(0, length - 1) + ++c;
}
private String getExcelCellRef(String fromColRef) {
if (fromColRef != null) {
int i = 0;
for (; i < fromColRef.length(); i++) {
if (Character.isDigit(fromColRef.charAt(i))) {
break;
}
}
if (i == 0) {
return fromColRef;
}
else {
return fromColRef.substring(0, i);
}
}
return null;
}
If I remember correctly if you try and read a cell value that has not been assigned a value you get a NullPointerException or similar. You could surround the code that is examining the cell in a try-catch statement and then write your own code to deal with such scenario.
If my memory does not serve me correctly and tthe error thrown is not a NullPointerException then change the catch exception class to the relevant one.
