Literals,
operators, comments, keywords, identifiers, line terminators, and
white space come together to form a list of expressions, even if
the list only contains a single expression. In general, each expression
in the list resolves to a value, and the value of the list as a
whole is the value of the last expression in the list.
For example, consider the following scenario of two fields on
a form design:
Field name
|
Calculations
|
Returns
|
Field1
|
5 + Abs(Price)
"Hello World"
10 * 3 + 5 * 4
|
50
|
Field2
|
10 * 3 + 5 * 4
|
50
|
The value of both Field1 and Field2 after
the evaluation of each field’s expression list is 50.
FormCalc divides the various types of expressions that make up
an expression list into the following categories:
