Compile a Script (to AST)
========================
{{#include ../links.md}}
To repeatedly evaluate a script, _compile_ it first into an AST (abstract syntax tree) form:
```rust
// Compile to an AST and store it for later evaluations
let ast = engine.compile("40 + 2")?;
for _ in 0..42 {
let result: i64 = engine.eval_ast(&ast)?;
println!("Answer #{}: {}", i, result); // prints 42
}
```
Compiling a script file is also supported (not available under [`no_std`] or in [WASM] builds):
```rust
let ast = engine.compile_file("hello_world.rhai".into())?;
```
