constant-folding

Constant folding is the process of recognizing and evaluating constant expressions at compile time rather than computing them at runtime. Terms in constant expressions are typically simple literals, such as the integer literal 2, but they may also be variables whose values are known at compile time.

Installation

npm i @alu0101312101/constant-folding

Usage as executable:

./node_modules/@alu0101312101/constant-folding/bin/constant-folding-cli.js input.js output.js
Where input.js is the input program and output.js is where it will be stored the result.

Usage from code:

const constantFolding = require('constant-folding');

const input = '[2,3,4].pop()';

let result = constantFolding(input);

console.log(result); // "4;"

The documentation of the function.

Examples

./bin/constant-folding-cli.js /input.js
File read succesfully
Output written succesfully in output.js

// input.js
//[1,2,3,4].concat(5,6);

// output.js
//[
//    1,
//    2,
//    3,
//    4,
//    5,
//    6
//];

// input2.js
//  [1,2,3+4].pop();
// output2.js
// 7;

// input3,js
// [1,2,3,4,5,6,7].length;
// output.js
// 7;
