Expressions
Like other programming languages, Phix lets you calculate results by
forming expressions. However, in Phix you can perform calculations on
entire sequences of data with one expression, where in most other languages
you would have to construct a loop. In Phix you can handle a sequence
much as you would a single number. It can be copied, passed to a subroutine,
or calculated upon as a unit. For example,
We will see more examples later.
sq_add({1,2,3},5)
is an expression that adds the sequence {1,2,3} and the atom 5 to get the
resulting sequence {6,7,8}.
We will see more examples later.
