     An expression is a formula for computing a value.
 
     FORTRAN has four kinds of expressions:
 
     Expression      Result
 
     Arithmetic      Integer, real, or complex value
 
     Character       Character or string value
 
     Relational      Logical value
 
     Logical         Logical or integer value
 
     Expressions are components of statements. For example, the
     following line is a statement, and the portion after the equal sign
     (=) is an expression:
 
     cost = 10.95 * chickens / coops
