NCalc

Build status NuGet NuGet

⚠️ This repository is currently only passively maintained. If there are fully fledged PRs, I will occasional merge those in and publish new versions. If you would like to become a maintainer and work on some of the open issues, please reply here sklose#61

A clone of NCalc from http://ncalc.codeplex.com/ with the following changes:

  • added support for .NET Standard 2.0+
  • added compilation of expressions to actual CLR lambdas

Installation

Simply install the package via NuGet

PM> Install-Package CoreCLR-NCalc

Creating Lambdas

Simple Expressions

var expr = new Expression("1 + 2");
Func<int> f = expr.ToLambda<int>();
Console.WriteLine(f()); // will print 3

Expressions with Functions and Parameters

class ExpressionContext
{
  public int Param1 { get; set; }
  public string Param2 { get; set; }
  
  public int Foo(int a, int b)
  {
    return a + b;
  }
}

var expr = new Expression("Foo([Param1], 2) = 4 && [Param2] = 'test'");
Func<ExpressionContext, bool> f = expr.ToLambda<ExpressionContext, bool>();

var context = new ExpressionContext { Param1 = 2, Param2 = "test" };
Console.WriteLine(f(context)); // will print True

Performance Comparison

The measurements were done during CI runs on AppVeyor and fluctuate a lot in between runs, but the speedup is consistently in the thousands of percent range. The speedup measured on actual hardware was even higher (between 10,000% and 35,000%).

Formula Description Expression Evaluations / sec Lambda Evaluations / sec Speedup
(4 * 12 / 7) + ((9 * 2) % 8) Simple Arithmetics 474,247.87 32,691,490.41 6,793.33%
5 * 2 = 2 * 5 && (1 / 3.0) * 3 = 1 Simple Arithmetics 276,226.31 93,222,709.05 33,648.67%
[Param1] * 7 + [Param2] Constant Values 707,493.27 21,766,101.47 2,976.51%
[Param1] * 7 + [Param2] Dynamic Values 582,832.10 21,400,445.13 3,571.80%
