Mathematical expressions are used to perform calculations by applying arithmetic operators to variables and values.

Just like in traditional math, operators such as addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), and division (/) allow programmers to manipulate data and generate results.

These expressions can be as simple as adding two numbers or as complex as solving multi-step problems involving variables.

For example, in many programming languages, you might see something like:

x = 5 + 3
y = 3 - 2
z = x * y
q = z / 2

Here, the variables x, y, z, and q hold the outcomes of various mathematical operations. By learning how to construct and evaluate mathematical expressions in code, you can create algorithms that automate calculations and solve problems efficiently.

This blog will go over the basics of mathematical expressions and how to use them efficiently in code.
