How to store functions in json (or other way) and parse them in swift?

Question

I am building an app where a user can solve 30+ different math problems. Each problem has a set of random generated variables (nums) and has its own unique formula to calculate the correct result. I am planning to use json to store these 30+ different math tasks. My question is the following: Is there any way to store functions in json (even as string) and then decode them as functions in swift? I need it to avoid typing 30+ functions directly in swift file. Or maybe there is a better way to store data and functions for my app and I just do not know about it. Please find below JSON with one problem as an example. Each element from nums is generated randomly in swift within the range [minValue...maxValue]. After that I use nums to calculate the correct result. In this case formula will be nums[0].value*(1+nums[1].value)^nums[2].value

{
  "Rtexts":[
  {
    "value":["Now", "As of now", "Currently", "In Year 0"],
    "sequence":1
  },
  {

    "sequence":2

Answer 1

There are a few things you can use

Firestore

FirebaseRemoteConfig

FirebaseDatabase

Based on the JSON you showed, I would use FirebaseRemoteConfig
