Spaces must be used to delimit the predefined constants and
functions. Operators allow but do not require spaces. NOTE
An expression can include data values from multiple
dataloggers. NOTE
8.1.5.1 Operators
Operator Description
( ) Prioritizes parts of an expression within the larger expression.
* Multiply by
/ Divide by
^ Raised to the power of
+ Add
- Subtract
= Equal
<> Not equal
> Greater than
< Less than
>= Greater than or equal to
<= Less than or equal to
8.1.5.2 Order of Precedence
When processing mathematical expressions, the order of precedence is:
• Anything inside parentheses ( )
• Exponentiation ^
• Negation (unary) -
• Multiplication *, division /
• Modulo (remainder) MOD
• Addition +, subtraction -
When consecutive operators have the same priority, the expression evaluates
from left to right. This means that an expression such as a-b-c is evaluated as
(a-b)-c.
