Expressions and Operators
 
An expression can be a string or numeric constant, a variable, or a single
value obtained by combining constants, variables, and other expressions
with operators.
 
Operators perform mathematical or logical operations on values. The
operators provided by BASIC can be divided into five categories:
 
   Category                Task
  ◄Arithmetic operators►   perform calculations
  ◄Relational operators►   compare strings and numeric values
  ◄Logical operators►      test complex conditions or manipulate individual
                           bits
  ◄Functional operators►   supplement simpler operators
  ◄String operators►       combine and compare strings
