Store named expression's current value in a python variable

Hristo

Dear All,

I can get the value of a named expression using this command:
solver.setup.named_expressions.compute(names = ["my_expression"])
Information is reported in the console.

Is there a way to store the value in a python variable?

For example:
**Input:
expression_value = command_that_I'm_looking_for
print(expression_value)
print(expression_value + 2000)

**Output: **
25
2025

Hi Hristo,

just try the following way to get that value stored in the variable

val = solver.settings.setup.named_expressions["my_expression"].definition()
print(val)

definition returns the expression

val = solver.settings.setup.named_expressions["my_expression"].get_value()
print(val)

get_value() evaluates and return the value

Thanks!

@abhishekchitwar definition() should return the expression string (e.g., "2 + 2"). Is that what @Hristo wants or does he want the result, 4? That's via get_value:

expr_val = solver.settings.setup.named_expressions["test_expr_1"].get_value()

Hello, @abhishekchitwar and @Sean Pearson!

.get_value() got me what I was looking for.

Thank you!
