  Eval - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In some programming languages, eval is a function which evaluates a string as though it were an expression and returns a result; in others, it executes multiple lines of code as though they had been included instead of the line including the eval.
Eval is also sometimes used in applications needing to evaluate math expressions, such as spreadsheets.
Perhaps the best use of eval is in bootstrapping a new language (as with Lisp), and in language tutor programs which allow users to run their own programs in a controlled environment.

Perhaps the best use of eval is in bootstrap (A strap that is looped and sewn to the top of a boot for pulling it on) ping a new language (as with Lisp), and in language tutor programs which allow users to run their own programs in a controlled environment.
However once the eval function had been manually compiled it was used as part of a simple input-interpret-output loop which formed the basis of the first Lisp interpreter.

The code resulting from the execution of eval references objects that are eql to the corresponding objects in the source code.
To obtain the current dynamic value of a symbol, use of symbol-value is equivalent (and usually preferable) to use of eval.
The object that results from this normal argument evaluation becomes the value of the form parameter, and is then evaluated as part of the eval form.

The use of eval, compile, and load is deprecated.
eval-when normally appears as a top level form, but it is meaningful for it to appear as a non-top-level form.

 TinyFugue: /eval   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The return value of eval() and /eval is that of the last command in text; the return value of /not is the logical negation of return value of the last command in text.
By default, eval expands the text as if %{sub} were "full", and echoes it if %{mecho} is not "off".
Note: calling /eval with arguments from a trigger could be dangerous.

 The power of JavaScript's EVAL command: Builder AU: Web Development: Scripting
EVAL can reduce code and eases interaction with data that is unknown at load time, but there are drawbacks to take into account.
As EVAL allows you to dynamically create and execute JavaScript, you can use it to reduce the number of lines of code you need to use; you can also use it to create JavaScript to perform activities that would be significantly more difficult without using the command.
However, EVAL is not always the best approach; sometimes it can be slower depending on what you are asking it to do.

 eval - catch exceptions or compile code
The value of the expression (which is itself determined within scalar context) is first parsed, and if there weren't any errors, executed in the context of the current Perl program, so that any variable settings or subroutine and format definitions remain afterwards.
In both forms, the value returned is the value of the last expression evaluated inside the mini-program; a return statement may be also used, just as with subroutines.
Note that, because eval() traps otherwise-fatal errors, it is useful for determining whether a particular feature (such as socket() or symlink()) is implemented.

 Help: @EVAL
After all variables and functions have been expanded, it must be composed only of numeric strings and names of functions in Trigonometric and transcendental functions, connected by Arithmetic operators and optionally grouped with parentheses.
@EVAL permits you to simplify expression by dropping the % percent mark in front of the names of environment variables.
The effective precision of the result of @EVAL depends on which specific operations were performed on which values.

 Macro Language Dictionary : %EVAL
Because %EVAL does not convert a value containing a period to a number, the operands are evaluated as character operands.
When %EVAL encounters a value containing a period, it displays an error message about finding a character operand where a numeric operand is required.
The macro TEST uses %EVAL to increment the value of the macro variable I by 1.

 eval - perldoc.perl.org
The value of the expression (which is itself determined within scalar context) is first parsed, and if there weren't any errors, executed in the lexical context of the current Perl program, so that any variable settings or subroutine and format definitions remain afterwards.
This form is typically used to delay parsing and subsequent execution of the text of EXPR until run time.
In the second form, the code within the BLOCK is parsed only once--at the same time the code surrounding the eval itself was parsed--and executed within the context of the current Perl program.

In the 4th line of the script, what on earth is that "eval" for and when should I use it.
I know what the script does, but I have missed somehow what the "eval" deal is. It looks kind of like a method with no object, but it has only been used twice in the entire primer (I'm on primer #25 or something like that) and the script I wrote worked fine without it (loops=tellme).
Eval() takes the argument between the parenthesis and evaluates it.

 Eval Language
The Eval language of SteelBlue was created to facilitate numerical, string, and file manipulation that would otherwise not be possible with just the SteelBlue tags.
A section of Eval code is either a single statement or a block of statements separated by semicolons (;).
It should be noted that the Eval interpreter represents all numbers as strings in the environment.

 Fabulous Adventures In Coding : Eval is Evil, Part One
The eval method -- which takes a string containing JScript code, compiles it and runs it -- is probably the most powerful and most misused method in JScript.
The reason we use eval instead of "new Function" is because we need to create the function in the current scope.
Speaking of "new Function", eval's sibling so to speak, here is an interesting if somewhat extreme example of its use: I was a lead developer for an application that was a mixed thin/fat client - some of the data was maintained locally, thus accessible while offline.

 Built-In Commands - eval manual page   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Eval takes one or more arguments, which together comprise a Tcl script containing one or more commands.
Eval concatenates all its arguments in the same fashion as the concat command, passes the concatenated string to the Tcl interpreter recursively, and returns the result of that evaluation (or any error generated by it).
Note that the list command quotes sequences of words in such a way that they are not further expanded by the eval command.

eval is a shell special built-in command that constructs a command by concatenating the args together, separating each with a space.

Otherwise, it is the exit status of the command defined by the arg operands.

 AI group - EVAL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The focus of the Evolutionary Computation and Artificial Life (EVAL) group is the simulated emergence and evolution of complex phenomena.
EVAL simulations are typically based on models from the natural and physical sciences combined with the tools of artificial life (AL) and evolutionary computation (EC), such as cellular automata, genetic algorithms and genetic programming.
Although the projects in the EVAL group are varied, we are unified by a general interest in the use of bottom-up, individual-based and evolutionary techniques in both the design of efficient systems and tools, and in the investigation of biological phenomena.

They make one tacit assumption which could be called "the EVAL button": the programmer puts in a program, they push a button, and a result comes out.
Semantically, the EVAL button is the assumption that the language semantics can be summarized by "eval(P)=v".

 Joe Marshall on Rebol 1.0
Notice that EVAL-1 (what would correspond to EVAL in a Lisp or Scheme interpreter) takes two continuations rather than the usual one.
One continuation is invoked in the case where `more' of the sequence needs to be processed, the other in the case that the sequence is `all used up'.
When all continuations are off the stack, we can then do a longjmp and restart the eval.
