I do not know if this is the most straightforward (or idiomatic)
way to do it, but this seems to work as expected:
for i in [1..10] do
str:=Concatenation("f",String(i)," := ",String(i)," ; ");
istr:=InputTextString(str);
ReadAsFunction(istr)();
od;
By the way, is there any other way to get something
akin to eval() in gap?
All the best,
lg
