An example of an expression in programming can be found in many languages. Here's a simple mathematical expression in Python:
result = 5 + 3 * 2
In this expression:
5
,3
, and2
are operands.+
and*
are operators.- The whole expression calculates the value of
5 + (3 * 2)
, resulting inresult
being assigned the value11
due to the order of operations (multiplication before addition).
This expression can be evaluated, and it will yield a value that can be stored in a variable, used in a function call, or displayed.
