Lists and Expressions

Stored expressions

An expression is something that can be evaluated. The first section of the chapter, “Name Resolution” in the “JSL Building Blocks” chapter, discussed how JMP evaluates expressions. Now you must consider when JMP evaluates expressions.

JMP tends to evaluate things as soon as it possibly can, and it returns a result. If an expression is on the right side of an assignment, the result is what is assigned. Usually, that is what you want and expect, but sometimes you need to be able to delay evaluation.

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.
