a = [1, 2, 3, 6, 9];
sum = eval(a.join`+`);
console.log(sum);
// outputs 21
Lately doing stuff with eval has been pretty fun. This does:
eval('1+2+3+6+9');
I used a more dynamic version of this recently:
const f = (o, ...a) => eval(a.join(o));
I had an idea for parsing Polish notation (+ 10 10) by just transforming s-expressions like that into function calls: f('+', 10, 10)... I've always liked Polish notation...
Here is the little Polish notation thing (warning extremely hacky)
const f = (o, ...a) => eval(a.join(o));
const polish = eq => eval(
eq.replace(/\s+/g, ' ')
.replace(/(\))\s([0-9])/g, '$1,$2')
.replace(/([0-9]+)[^\)]/g, '$1,')
.replace(/\(\s?([\+\-\*\\/])/g, 'f(`$1`,')
);
console.log(polish('(* 2 2)'));
console.log(polish('(* 2 2 (+ 3 2 1))'));
console.log(polish('(- 10 3)'));
console.log(polish('(/ (+ 10 10 (* 2 2)) 3)'));
