Are variables case-sensitive in exprtk?

Question

When I define an expression in my exprtk string, like

var x := sqrt(y);

and I try to add another variable

var X := 2*z;

do I get a conflict? Thanks in advance.

Why not give it a try? – Shampoo

Why use the C++ tag? The syntax you presented is not valid for C++. – Joint

Thomas: because exprtk is a C++ library. Robert: I just tested it here, and I get a conflict. Should I remove the question? – Plebeian

@LucioCarlosPimentelPaiva just answer your question yourself if you have found the answer, – Nehemiah

Right. Thanks for the advice – Plebeian

I don't know if it's expected or not. But it gave me a headache for hours when I tried to debug my code. – Plebeian

Answer 1

As of March 2017, the author of exprtk has added support for case sensitive variables: https://github.com/ArashPartow/exprtk/blob/master/readme.txt#L4477

Just include #define exprtk_disable_caseinsensitivity and you are good to go!

Nice! It didn't exist when I posted the question, it's good to know that it is supported now. Thanks – Plebeian

Answer 2

I just found the answer: variables defined within exprtk expressions are NOT case sensitive. In the example above you will get a conflict.
