Expressions

XJEase expressions consist of atoms combined together with operators. Atoms that can be used in an expression are:

• Literal values, either integers or strings.
• References to variables or constants.
• Function calls when the function has a single return parameter.

These atoms can then be combined together using the various operators available in XJEase. The precedence of operators can be overridden and controlled by grouping sub-expressions in brackets:

INT x := 1 + 2 * 3;    // results in 7
INT y := (1 + 2) * 3;  // results in 9
