FunctionalObjects.h: Using Symbolic Syntax in C++ Programs

TL;DR

FunctionalObjects.h enables C++ programmers to incorporate simple symbolic mathematical syntax directly into their code, simplifying mathematical expressions without full symbolic manipulation capabilities.

Contribution

It introduces a lightweight library that allows embedding symbolic syntax in C++ for basic mathematical calculations, bridging the gap between algorithmic code and symbolic notation.

Findings

Simplifies mathematical expressions in C++ code

Facilitates easier mathematical programming in C++

Provides a minimal symbolic syntax interface

Abstract

functionalObjects.h allows the C++ programmer performing common mathematical calculations to use a more symbolic syntax rather than an algorithmic syntax. This is not as ambitious as a symbolic manipulation program such as Mathematica; it is more like having the ability to drop a very simple Mathematica statement into a C++ program.
