Expressions

Expressions are parts of a statement that may contain a composition of binary operators, brackets and numbers: floats and integers.

Operators

MathFlow currently supports the following operators;

• Unary Operators: + , -
• Binary Operators: + , -, /, *, ^

Computations follow the arithmetic precedence of each operator.

1 + 2 * 3

The above expression evaluates to 7 but not 9.

Return Values

The result of the last expression in the script is considered to be the return value.

The script below results into 5 as the resultant value.

1.2 + 1.8
2 + 3

Terms

MathFlow enables you to write normal mathematical terms.

x = 3
y = (2x - 1) / (3x + 1)

However, the following is not allowed;

x = 3
y = 2
z = xy

To handle that kind of composition, add a binary operator between the variables. Otherwise, it is considered as an identifier or a reserved keyword.

x = 3
y = 2
z = x * y
