Details

Type pdaExpression


Expression need to be commonly evaluated by many software, so having a restricted set of math / types and so on is key. In PDAFlow lib2/expr there is a yacc/lex parser available with some unit support as well as double / complex expressions. An alternative is tinyexpr, but this is more restrictive, so may be very unhandy for things like waveguide model expressions.

name

Type pdaIdentifier documentation:
Identifiers are used in the Python library for the getName() and setName() function and can thus be used to identify the different elements in list s.
In text the specification is a letter, followed by letters, numbers, underscore. The XSD schema validation is a regular expression: [A-Za-z]([A-Za-z0-9_])*

stddev
