 | eval(s) evaluates a Python expression s
eval('sin(1.2) + 3.1**8')
|
| exec(s) executes the string s as Python code
s = 'x = 3; y = sin(1.2*x) + x**8' exec(s) |
| Main application: get Python expressions from a GUI (no need to parse mathematical expressions if they follow the Python syntax!), build tailored code at run-time depending on input to the script |
