Short answer reflection.
Longer answer, in this case you need to run a full compiler, there is something called scala tool box than can help.
Even longer answer, don’t do this unless you are 100% this is the correct decision.
99% of the time I have some someone wanting to do this, was because they had a design error.
Strong agreement – this is almost always a Really Bad Idea. (Not least, it’s a fine recipe for horrible security problems unless you are extremely expert in that topic.)
What’s the actual problem you’re trying to solve? There are usually better approaches than this…
scala 2.13.3> val engine = new javax.script.ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("scala")
val engine: javax.script.ScriptEngine = scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.shell.Scripted@423692e1
scala 2.13.3> val result = engine.eval("LazyList.from(1).take(5).sum")
val result: Object = 15
scala 2.13.3> result.asInstanceOf[Int]
val res0: Int = 15
