Expression Statement

An expression statement is a simple expression that ends in a semicolon (;) and evaluates one or more expressions, without the involvement of any other statements.

Syntax

EXPRESSION;

Examples

Common examples of expression statements are with increment or decrement expressions ( val++/val--) that simply add or subtract 1 to/from a value. These often do not require any other expressions, and can simply be used as a whole statement, like this:

// Defining a variable
var increase_this: num = 4;
increase_this++; // Expression statement -> 5
increase_this--; // Expression statement -> 4
