Hi, Not sure this is the best group to post, but I cannot think of any other.
My application would contain a limited set of "cells" represented by the instances of a Cell class: class Cell: ... A1=Cell(7) A2=Cell(2*A1) A3=Cell(3*A1+A2) A4=Cell(A3*4) Of course, A1 = 7, A2 = 14, A3 = 35 and A4 = 140 Now, I somehow want to be able to show a dependency tree 1 level dependency trees A1: None A2: A1 A3: A1, A2 A4: A3 All levels dependency trees A1: None A2: A1 A3: A1, A2 A4: A3, A2, A1 Leaf + values dependency trees: A1: 7 A2: A1=7, 2 A3: 3, A1=7, 2 A4: 3, A1=7, 2, 4 What I'd like to know is: 1) what are, in your opinion, the basic elements of the Cell class? 2) Do I need a parser to evaluate the formulas like “3*A1+A2”? Can you recommend one library that already contains one? 3) Do I need a tree data structure to represent my data? would the tree be an attribute of the class instance? I imagine a lot can be said on these questions. What I am looking for is some hints that help me get out of where I am now. Any help is highly appreciated.
