In programming, what is an expression? -
i've googled question, , searched on so, can't seem straight answer.
is question basic no-one has thought ask yet?
can please explain "expression" in programming.
also program in javascript, if definition varies in js please highlight difference?
in javascript:
"an expression valid unit of code resolves value.
conceptually, there 2 types of expressions: assign value variable , have value. expression x = 7 example of first type. expression uses = operator assign value 7 variable x. expression evaluates seven. code 3 + 4 example of second expression type. expression uses + operator add 3 , 4 without assigning result, seven, variable.
javascript has following expression categories:
arithmetic: evaluates number, example 3.14159. (generally uses arithmetic operators.) string: evaluates character string, example, "fred" or "234". (generally uses string operators.) logical: evaluates true or false. (often involves logical operators.) object: evaluates object. (see special operators various ones evaluate objects.)"
