```js
const parser = new math.parser()
// evaluate expressions
const a = parser.evaluate('sqrt(3^2 + 4^2)') // 5
const b = parser.evaluate('sqrt(-4)') // 2i
const c = parser.evaluate('2 inch in cm') // 5.08 cm
const d = parser.evaluate('cos(45 deg)') // 0.7071067811865476
// define variables and functions
parser.evaluate('x = 7 / 2') // 3.5
parser.evaluate('x + 3') // 6.5
parser.evaluate('f(x, y) = x^y') // f(x, y)
parser.evaluate('f(2, 3)') // 8
// get and set variables and functions
const x = parser.get('x') // 3.5
const f = parser.get('f') // function
const g = f(3, 2) // 9
parser.set('h', 500)
const i = parser.evaluate('h / 2') // 250
parser.set('hello', function (name) {
return 'hello, ' + name + '!'
})
parser.evaluate('hello("user")') // "hello, user!"
// clear defined functions and variables
parser.clear()
