Expressions

An expression produces a value. A statement does not.

Essentials

• Parentheses group expressions and also allow a statement to continue on the next line.
• A call is name(arguments). A parameterized call is name<a href="/arguments/">params</a>.
• Member access is value.field. Subscript is value[index].
• A slice uses the start:end form inside brackets.
• Conditional expressions use x if cond else y.

Example

def main():
    var n = 3
    print("even" if n % 2 == 0 else "odd")

Keep in mind

Do not hide a side effect inside a conditional expression. Use a statement when the reader must notice the effect.
