2.3 Expressions expr

Expressions are made up of expression atoms separated by binary string, arithmetic, or truth-valued operators.

See 2.2 for the definition of expratom.

See 2.2 for the definition of expratom. See 2.3.3 for the definition of pattern.

The order of evaluation is as follows:

1. Evaluate the left-hand expratom.
2. If an exprtail is present immediately to the right, evaluate its expratom or pattern and apply its operator.
3. Repeat step b. as necessary, moving to the right.

In the language of operator precedence, this sequence implies that all binary string, arithmetic, and truth-valued operators are at the same precedence level and are applied in left-to-right order.

Any attempt to evaluate an expratom containing an lvn, gvn, or svn with an undefined value is erroneous.
