Add a new formatter for symbolic expressions, which produces an infix expression as well as a list of all coefficient values

[chaider]

Representation of coefficients of the mathematical representation for solution models. Display coefficients as strings to be able to copy/paste values into other programs for further analysis.

e.g.

Mathematical Representation:

Y = (c0 * x + c1 * y + c2 * z)

Coefficients:

c0 = -0.03129

c1 = 1.5293

c2 = -0.93221

Review Comments

Visual representation looks very good!

InfixStringFormatter

• I personally do not like the file and class name. Please think of a better one that indicates the differences between both infix formatters
• Do constants and constants counter have to be member variables. Would it be sufficient to declare them in the format method
• Why are the maximum digits dependent on the number of constants (line 42)?
• GetDigits lines 180 & 182 are obsolete in my opinion. It does exactly the same as line 183.
• Can these functionality be integrated in the default infix formatter so that fewer / no code is duplicated?

r16411 changed GetDigits method to use calculation for number 1-9 too

r17503 merged trunk into branch

r17523

• Removed extra file for InfixStringFormatter (moved class to InfixExpressionFormatter file)
• Extracted FormatRecursively into base class (reduce code duplication)
• removed member variables constants and constantsCounter

r17581: Merged formatter changes into trunk.

r17582: Deleted branch for infix formatter.

For several symbols the changed formatter does not produce matching closing parenthesis.

Integer powers should be integrated directly into the expression and not listed as coefficients.

e.g. c0 * power(x1, 4) + c1 * power(x2, 3) instead of c0 * power(x1, c1) + c2 * power(x2, c3).

r17811: integer powers are included directly in the expression instead of the list of coefficients.
