8.1 Expression syntax

An expression applies relational operators to simple expressions. Simple expressions are a series of terms (what a term is, is explained below), joined by adding operators.

The following are valid expressions:

And here are some simple expressions:

Terms consist of factors, connected by multiplication operators.
