Operators
Operators are used for calculation of mathematical expressions in alias macros.
AI296 evaluates expressions from left to right in order of precedence as shown in
Table 8-19. To change the order of precedence, a programmer may enclose a portion
of an expression in parentheses ( ) to calculate that portion first.
AI296 evaluates both regular and boolean logic operators. Refer to Table 8-19 for a
list of all available operators in order of precedence.
4+3*2 Specifies an equation that equals 10.
