Ive never had any reason tu even use eval. Can someone give me an example of when it might be useful? (even if its not safe)

@Codex404 for a plotter created in Python in 15 mins.
The text inserted by the user were inserted into a Function with only return "userformula".
Later with MatPlotLib the script will plot the function.
In the zone with eval are automatically included all the obj in math module -
rhein712117y@eisterman A friend of mine (beginner) wrote a Python script that calculated the derivative function of an function the user typed in. He showed it to me and I said: "You should not use eval()".
He: "Oh, ok. May you write a parser?"
I: "Wait! It's ok. Just use eval!"😂
