Give an example of an expression in programming

1 answer

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, and 2 are operands.
  • + and * are operators.
  • The whole expression calculates the value of 5 + (3 * 2), resulting in result being assigned the value 11 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.
