By using parentheses, you can change the order of operations in an
expression. That is, operations in parentheses are performed first,
then operations outside the parentheses. For example, the
expression
(2 + 6 / 3) * 5 - 9
results in an answer of 11, while the expression
(2 + 6 / 3) * (5 - 9)
results in -16 as the answer.
Nested Parentheses
You can also embed parentheses, where operations in the deepest
parentheses are performed first. For example, the expression
((7 + 3) / 2) * 3
contains embedded parentheses. From the example, the first
operation is 7+3, the second operation is 10/2, and the third
operation is 5*3, which results in 15 as the answer.
Examples
The following demonstrate some simple uses of expressions. The
examples assume memory space is allocated for the variables.
Example 1
The following causes axis X to move position to the resulting value of
the expression.
X(P0 + P2 * P30)
Example 2
When the following IF statement proves true, the message “OK”
prints.
IF(P0=1234) THEN PRINT “ok”
Example 3
The following concatenates strings $V1 and $V2, and sets string $V0
equal to the result.
$V0 = $V1 + $V2
Example 4
The following program generates a random number from 0 to 999.
As the program loops, it counts each loop. When the number equals
123, the program exits the loop and prints the count.
PROGRAM
DIM LV(2) : REM dimension 2 long variables
LV0=0 : REM set LV0 equal to 0
_LOOP1
LV1=RND(1000) : REM set LV1 equal to random number
LV0=LV0+1 : REM increment LV0 with each loop
IF (LV1<>123) THEN GOTO LOOP1
PRINT “Done in”;lv0;”tries”
ENDP
