# Compile and evaluate expressions (mathjs)
Implement **`solution.ts`** using **mathjs** (already installed — import what you need,
e.g. `import { compile } from "mathjs";`).
Export exactly one function:
```ts
export function evaluateAll(expr: string, scopes: Record<string, number>[]): number[];
```
Behavior:
- **Compile the expression once** with mathjs (`compile(expr)`), then evaluate the
compiled expression against **each** scope in `scopes`, in order.
- Return an array of the numeric results (one per scope). Convert each result to a
`number` so the return type is exactly `number[]`.
- An empty `scopes` array returns `[]`.
The expression may reference variables supplied by the scope and may use mathjs built-in
functions (e.g. `sqrt`, `max`, `sin`).
Examples:
```ts
evaluateAll("a^2 + b", [{ a: 3, b: 1 }, { a: 2, b: 5 }]);
// => [10, 9]
evaluateAll("sqrt(x) + max(y, 1)", [{ x: 9, y: 4 }]);
// => [7] // sqrt(9)=3, max(4,1)=4
evaluateAll("a + b", []);
// => []
```
Keep it fully typed (must pass `tsc --noEmit` in strict mode). Do not use `any` in the
public API.

To solve this problem, we need to evaluate a mathematical expression against multiple scopes using the mathjs library. The goal is to compile the expression once and then evaluate it against each scope, returning an array of results.
### Approach
1. **Compile the Expression**: Use mathjs's `compile` function to convert the given expression into a function that can be evaluated multiple times with different variable values.
2. **Evaluate Against Each Scope**: For each scope provided, evaluate the compiled expression using the variables in that scope. Convert the result to a number and collect these results into an array.
3. **Handle Edge Cases**: If the scopes array is empty, return an empty array immediately.
### Solution Code
```typescript
import { compile } from "mathjs";
export function evaluateAll(expr: string, scopes: Record<string, number>[]): number[] {
const compiled = compile(expr);
const results: number[] = [];
for (const scope of scopes) {
const result = compiled.eval(scope);
results.push(Number(result));
}
return results;
}
```
### Explanation
1. **Importing the Compile Function**: The `compile` function from mathjs is imported to handle the expression compilation.
2. **Compiling the Expression**: The given expression is compiled once, which allows it to be evaluated efficiently multiple times.
3. **Evaluating Each Scope**: For each scope in the provided array, the compiled expression is evaluated using the variables from that scope. The result is converted to a number to ensure the output is an array of numbers.
4. **Returning Results**: The results from each evaluation are collected into an array and returned.
This approach ensures that the expression is compiled only once, making the solution efficient, especially when dealing with multiple scopes. The solution handles all provided scopes and returns the results in the order they were evaluated.Test output (stdout)

Reasoning (chain-of-thought)
Okay, I need to solve this problem where I have to implement a function called evaluateAll in TypeScript using mathjs. The function takes an expression string and an array of scopes, each being a record of string keys to number values. The goal is to compile the expression once and evaluate it against each scope in order, returning an array of numbers.
First, I should think about how mathjs works. I remember that mathjs has a compile function which takes an expression and returns a compiled function. So I'll need to import that. The compiled function can then be evaluated with specific variables.
So the steps are:
1. Compile the expression once using mathjs.compile(expr). This will create a function that can be evaluated with different variables each time.
2. For each scope in the scopes array, evaluate the compiled expression with the variables provided in that scope.
3. Collect the results into an array and return it.
I also need to handle the case where scopes is empty, in which case I return an empty array.
Now, thinking about the function signature. The function is called evaluateAll, takes expr as a string and scopes as an array of Record<string, number>, and returns a number array.
I should make sure that the function doesn't have any issues with types. So when evaluating, I'll pass the scope as the variables to the compiled function.
Wait, how does mathjs handle the evaluation? The compile function returns an object with an eval method. The eval method takes the variables as an object. So for each scope, I'll call compiledExpr.eval(scope) and push the result into the results array.
But wait, what about the return type? The examples show that the result is a number, but what if the evaluation returns something else, like a boolean or a string? The problem says to convert each result to a number. So I need to make sure that whatever the result is, it's converted to a number. But in the examples, the results are straightforward numbers, so maybe the expression is designed to return numbers.
But to be safe, perhaps I should use Number() on the result. Or maybe the mathjs eval function returns a number or something that can be converted.
So the plan is:
- Import compile from mathjs.
- In the function, first compile the expression.
- If scopes is empty, return empty array.
- Else, for each scope in scopes, evaluate the compiled expression with that scope's variables, convert the result to a number, and add to the results array.
- Return the results array.
Now, let's think about possible edge cases. What if the expression is invalid? Well, the function will throw an error when compiling, which is expected. The problem doesn't specify handling errors, so I don't need to handle that here.
Another case: what if a scope is missing a variable that the expression requires? The eval will throw an error, which again is expected behavior.
So, putting it all together, the code would look like this:
Import compile from mathjs.
Function evaluateAll(expr, scopes) {
Compile the expr once.
Initialize an empty results array.
Loop through each scope in scopes:
Evaluate the compiled expr with the current scope.
Convert the result to a number and push to results.
Return results.
}
Wait, but in TypeScript, the scopes are passed as an array, and each scope is a Record<string, number>. So when we pass each scope to the eval function, it should work because the variables are the same structure.
Now, let's write the code.
First, the import:
import { compile } from 'mathjs';
Then, the function:
export function evaluateAll(expr: string, scopes: Record<string, number>[]): number[] {
const compiled = compile(expr);
const results: number[] = [];
for (const scope of scopes) {
const result = compiled.eval(scope);
results.push(Number(result));
}
return results;
}
Wait, but what if the result is not a number? For example, if the expression returns a boolean. But according to the problem statement, the expression is mathematical, so it should return a number. But to be safe, using Number() will convert it. For example, true becomes 1, false becomes 0, which might not be intended, but the problem says to convert each result to a number.
Alternatively, perhaps the eval function always returns a number, so maybe the conversion is unnecessary. But to comply with the problem statement, I'll include it.
Testing the examples:
First example: "a^2 + b" with scopes [{a:3, b:1}, {a:2, b:5}]. The compiled function would evaluate to 3^2 +1 =10 and 2^2 +5=9. So the result is [10,9], which matches.
Second example: "sqrt(x) + max(y, 1)" with scope {x:9, y:4}. sqrt(9) is 3, max(4,1) is4, sum is7. So [7], correct.
Third example: empty scopes, returns empty array.
I think this should work.
Now, checking TypeScript types. The function is correctly typed. The scopes are passed as objects with string keys and number values. The compiled function's eval expects an object with variables, which matches.
So the code should be correct.
