\ingroup Roofitcore
 
RooFormula internally uses ROOT's TFormula to compute user-defined expressions
of RooAbsArgs.
 
The string expression can be any valid TFormula expression referring to the
listed servers either by name or by their ordinal list position. These three are
forms equivalent:
```
  RooFormula("formula", "x*y",       RooArgList(x,y))  or
  RooFormula("formula", "@0*@1",     RooArgList(x,y))
  RooFormula("formula", "x[0]*x[1]", RooArgList(x,y))
```
Note that `x[i]` is an expression reserved for TFormula. If a variable with
the name `x` is given, the RooFormula interprets `x` as a variable name,
but `x[i]` as an index in the list of variables.
 
### Category expressions
State information of RooAbsCategories can be accessed using the '::' operator,
*i.e.*, `tagCat::Kaon` will resolve to the numerical value of
the `Kaon` state of the RooAbsCategory object named `tagCat`.
 
A formula to switch between lepton categories could look like this:
```
  RooFormula("formulaWithCat",
    "x * (leptonMulti == leptonMulti::one) + y * (leptonMulti == leptonMulti::two)",
    RooArgList(x, y, leptonMulti));
```
 
### Debugging a formula that won't compile
When the formula is preprocessed, RooFit can print information in the debug stream.
These can be retrieved by activating the RooFit::MsgLevel `RooFit::DEBUG`
and the RooFit::MsgTopic `RooFit::InputArguments`.
Check the tutorial rf506_msgservice.C for details.
