# chem-equation-balancers

This repository has four versions of chemical equation balancers. You may need to update the change the package and import paths as needed.

## First Version 

The first version uses a very simple inspection method that can solve simple to moderate difficulty equations. This version does not support any parentheses.

## Second Version

The second version uses a procedural version of the simplified algebraic method (https://jaminsantiago.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/balancing-chemical-equations-easy-algebraic-method.pdf) along with polyatomic replacement that solve almost any chemical equation. This version supports parentheses().

## Third Version

The third version is an object oriented equalivent of the second version.

## Fourth Version

The fourth version takes a whole new approach compared to the others. Instead of using the simplified algebraic method(where variable space has to be accounted inside code), this uses a complete algebraic/matrix solving method. As the more number of variables seems to suggest that a stronger balancing algorithm(in-depth experiment: https://github.com/Saptak625/chem-node-charts), this method maximizes it, while also keeping internal complexities of some matrix solving to a minimum. The matrix solving method used is a custom gaussian elimination with back substitution. My hypothesis of being able to solve all chemical equations hasn't been tested yet. Any suggestions, ideas, or resources would be greatly appreciated!
