Metadelta Solver

Step-by-step equation solving for metadelta

Usage

To solve an equation:

const solver = require('@metadelta/solver');

const steps  = solver.solveEquation('2x + 3x = 35');

steps.forEach(step => {
    console.log("Before this change: " + step.oldEquation.print());  // e.g. before change: 2x + 3x = 35
    console.log("Type of change: " + step.changeType);               // e.g. change: SIMPLIFY_LEFT_SIDE
    console.log("After this change: " + step.newEquation.print());   // e.g. after change: 5x = 35
    console.log("Number of substeps: " + step.substeps.length);      // e.g. # of substeps: 2
});

To see all the change types:

const changes = solver.ChangeTypes;
