			ExprEvaluator util = new ExprEvaluator(false, 100);

The method toJavaForm converts an expression to the internal Java form.

Note: single character identifiers are case sensitive (the "D()" function input must be written as upper case character)

			String javaForm = util.toJavaForm("D(sin(x)*cos(x),x)");

The following line will print: D(Times(Sin(x),Cos(x)),x)

			System.out.println("Out[1]: " + javaForm.toString());

Use the Java form to create an expression with F.* static methods:

			ISymbol x = F.Dummy("x");
			IAST function = F.D(F.Times(F.Sin(x), F.Cos(x)), x);
			IExpr result = util.eval(function);
			// print: Cos(x)^2-Sin(x)^2
			System.out.println("Out[2]: " + result.toString());

			// Note "diff" is an alias for the "D" function
			result = util.eval("diff(sin(x)*cos(x),x)");
			// print: Cos(x)^2-Sin(x)^2
			System.out.println("Out[3]: " + result.toString());

			// evaluate the last result ($ans contains "last answer")
			result = util.eval("$ans+cos(x)^2");
			// print: 2*Cos(x)^2-Sin(x)^2
			System.out.println("Out[4]: " + result.toString());

			// evaluate an Integrate[] expression
			result = util.eval("integrate(sin(x)^5,x)");
			// print: 2/3*Cos(x)^3-1/5*Cos(x)^5-Cos(x)
			System.out.println("Out[5]: " + result.toString());

			// set the value of a variable "a" to 10
			// Note: in server mode the variable name must have a preceding '$'
			// character
			result = util.eval("a=10");
			// print: 10
			System.out.println("Out[6]: " + result.toString());

			// do a calculation with variable "a"
			result = util.eval("a*3+b");
			// print: 30+b
			System.out.println("Out[7]: " + result.toString());

			// Do a calculation in "numeric mode" with the N() function
			// Note: single character identifiers are case sensistive
			// (the "N()" function input must be written as upper case
			// character)
			result = util.eval("N(sinh(5))");
			// print: 74.20321057778875
			System.out.println("Out[8]: " + result.toString());

			// define a function with a recursive factorial function definition.
			// Note: fac(0) is the stop condition.
			result = util.eval("fac(x_IntegerQ):=x*fac(x-1);fac(0)=1");
			// now calculate factorial of 10:
			result = util.eval("fac(10)");
			// print: 3628800
			System.out.println("Out[9]: " + result.toString());
