Mathematical expression

Introduction

An Expression is a an abstraction over a given situation, it’s meant to both represent and be evaluatable as value.

Exemple :

  • A variable : x <- 10 (Represent the value 10)
  • A log expression: log(5) (What exponent goes on ten to equal 5 ?)

As the comes in many flavor, the concept stays the same, represent* a value that is known or will be known by computation (evaluation of the expression).
