function evaluateExpression(expression, text) {
    // Step 1: Replace AND, OR, NOT with JS logical operators
    expression = expression.replace(/bANDb/g, '&&')
                           .replace(/bORb/g, '||')
                           .replace(/bNOTb/g, '!');

    // Step 2: Check for existence of words and replace with true or false
    const words = expression.match(/b[a-zA-Z]+b/g);
    const wordSet = new Set(words);

    wordSet.forEach(word => {
        const wordExists = new RegExp(`\b${word}\b`, 'i').test(text);
        expression = expression.replace(new RegExp(`\b${word}\b`, 'g'), wordExists ? 'true' : 'false');
    });

    // Step 3: Evaluate the expression
    return expression
}

// Example usage
const phrase = "(software) AND (engineer OR developer)";
const text = "I am a software engineer";
expression = evaluateExpression(phrase, text); // Output: true
eval(expression)

the problem is expression is returning a string '(true) && (true || false)'

when I pass this into eval(), i get an error

how do i convert this into something that eval() can process?
