Parser

Arokettu\ArithmeticParser\Parser class is used to parse an arithmetic expression to the Reverse Polish notation by the shunting yard algorithm.

Parser API is not considered stable.

parse()

parse method returns an array of operation objects for RPN stack machine. Example:

<?php

use Arokettu\ArithmeticParser\Operation\BinaryOperator;
use Arokettu\ArithmeticParser\Operation\Number;
use Arokettu\ArithmeticParser\Operation\Variable;
use Arokettu\ArithmeticParser\Parser;

$parser = new Parser();

$rpn = $parser->parse('x + 3 * y')->operations; // rpn is x 3 y * +

$rpn == [
    new Variable('x'),
    new Number(3),
    new Variable('y'),
    new BinaryOperator('*'),
    new BinaryOperator('+'),
]; // true

var_dump($rpn->asString()); // "x 3 y * +"
