ucEvaluate

ucEvaluateStr

See Also: ucParse

Rapidly evaluates an expression that was parsed with ucParse.

ucEvaluate(ExpressionHandle)

-or-

ucEvaluateStr(ExpressionHandle)

Parameter

ExpressionHandle

Required. ExpressionHandle is a value returned by ucParse, and represents the handle of the expression you want to evaluate.

Remarks

• ucEvaluate (or ucEvaluateStr) is designed to be used in pair with ucParse, for faster results than ucEval or ucEvalStr in time-critical loops.
• ucEvaluate returns the numeric result of an expression of numeric type.
• ucEvaluateStr returns a value as a string for an expression of any data type (including any kind of string, number, or other type). Non-string values are converted to a string before being returned.

See Example: Fast evaluation millions of times in a loop

New or enhanced in version 2.96

• PowerBASIC users will notice a marked difference in speed for ucEvaluate between versions 2.95 and 2.96.
