JavaScript -- write a function that can solve a math expression (without eval)
(2 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I'm working on a problem generator that spits out phrases like "!(A && B) || (A || B)", but it does so in a string (I have a function that spits this out in string form). How would I convert this string expression into a same boolean expression in javascript? I've tried to use JSON.parse() but it keeps giving me an error.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/eval should be the function you're looking for, however read the note about the huge security risk!

1.toString() gives us Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token.
One the other hand, (1).toString() returns '1'.
Considering that typeof 1 === typeof (1) (both are of type number), why is this the case?
In JS number literals might be both integers and floats, so probably after finding . after the number translator expects to parse a float, like 1.123.

In many place, I've seen that there is used the expression if (value === expression) rather than if (expression === value).
For example, In php we use-
if (false === strpos('abc', 'a'))
And also I see after minifying JavaScript, the minified file also generated like this.
So my question is, what is the benefit of value === expression over expression === value?
Note: This question may be redundant but I may not get the proper keywords for searching. If it is duplicated then I am ready to close the question.
I don't think there is a difference because the idea of equality operator is that to check if both sides are have the same value, in === also same type.

As you can see above, arrayIndexOf refers to a function. When invoking the arrayIndexOf function,
is it necessary to put "~" before "arrayIndexOf"? I try to change "~arrayIndexOf(value, field)" to "arrayIndexOf(value, field)". And it works as the same? Is there anything I miss?
In JavaScript, the tilde ~ Bitwise NOT operator is commonly used right
before an indexOf() to do a boolean check (truthy/falsy) on a string.
On its own, indexOf() returns the index number of a String object
passed in. So if -1 is returned it will be turned into 0 which is
falsy.

use the Number.prototype.toPrecision() function. Here is the documentation

toString() doesn't work on numeric literal like 5.toString(), but it works on string literal ("str".toString()) or after the numeric literal is assigned to var, like var a = 5;a.toString(). Wondering why it doesn't work for the first case?
You can do this if you wrap it in parenthesis.
(5).toString();
The first dot is the decimal mark. You need a second one to access the property:
5..toString();
