00:00:00,540 --> 00:00:03,719
Lecturer: Let's learn another important key term.

2
00:00:03,719 --> 00:00:05,313
Well, two for that matter.

3
00:00:06,150 --> 00:00:10,380
One is expressions, and the other one is statements.

4
00:00:10,380 --> 00:00:12,900
You're gonna hear this a lot when talking to programmers.

5
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:14,940
So what do they mean?

6
00:00:14,940 --> 00:00:16,290
Let's have a look.

7
00:00:16,290 --> 00:00:21,247
If we create a piece of code here, let's just say IQ is 100.

8
00:00:22,380 --> 00:00:23,640
IQ has lord.

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,772
And then let's say,

10
00:00:25,772 --> 00:00:30,772
user_age is going to equal IQ divided by 5.

11
00:00:32,130 --> 00:00:35,673
An expression is this part of the code.

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,600
It's a piece of code that produces a value.

13
00:00:42,210 --> 00:00:44,700
In our case, this produces a value, right?

14
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:49,700
Because 100 divided by 5 is going to equal 20.

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,920
So this is an expression.

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,920
A statement on the other hand, is an entire line of code.

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,880
Not this entire thing,

18
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,640
but an entire line of code

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,040
that performs some sort of action.

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,010
In this case, what action are we performing?

21
00:01:08,010 --> 00:01:11,580
Well, the action is that we're calculating

22
00:01:11,580 --> 00:01:12,870
100 divided by 5,

23
00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:17,640
and then assigning that value to the variable user_age.

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,150
So this is an expression,

25
00:01:21,150 --> 00:01:23,283
this is a statement,

26
00:01:24,180 --> 00:01:26,913
and also this is another statement.

27
00:01:27,870 --> 00:01:30,420
So if you hear me mentioning these terms

28
00:01:30,420 --> 00:01:31,650
throughout the course,

29
00:01:31,650 --> 00:01:34,200
hopefully, now you know what they mean.

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,640
I'll see you the next one.

31
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:36,473
Bye-bye.
