Detailed Description

template<class VariableConstructor>
class Belle2::FormulaParser< VariableConstructor >

FormulaParser to parse a text formula like "a + b * c ^ d" where the separate parts can be either variables (with and without arguments) or numbers.

The output can be configured by providing a custom VariableConstructor which creates the desired type of output variables. This VariableConstructor object needs to have

1. a member type type specifying the desired type of the output object
2. overloads for the call operator to create such objects from strings, doubles and to combine variables and doubles with a given EOperator. The necessary overloads are
   • type operator()(const std::string &name)
   • type operator()(double value)
   • type operator()(EOperator op, const type& a, const type& b)
   • type operator()(EOperator op, double a, const type &b)
   • type operator()(EOperator op, const type &a, double b)
