The expressions that can be evaluated support:

  • arithmetic operators a+b, a-b, a*b, a/b,
  • power (a^b) and modulo (a%b) operators,
  • parentheses,
  • math functions sqrt(a), floor(a), ceil(a), round(a),

If the expression can not be evaluated, the function returns false and the result value is set to zero.
