Basic Elements

Our formula grammar consists of several basic elements:
  • Strings: Text surrounded by single or double quotes, such as ‘Hello’ or “World”.
  • Numbers:
    • Integers: Pure numbers like 123 or -456.
    • Decimals: Numbers with decimal points like 12.34 or -45.67.
  • Boolean Values: These include TRUE and FALSE, representing true and false states.
  • Field References: Used to reference values from specific fields. They can be written as direct identifier names or surrounded by curly braces, such as {age}.

​
Operators

Operators in formulas are used to connect or compare values:
  • Mathematical Operations:
    • Addition (+)
    • Subtraction (-)
    • Multiplication (*)
    • Division (/)
    • Modulo (%)
  • Comparison Operations:
    • Greater than (>)
    • Less than (<)
    • Greater than or equal to (>=)
    • Less than or equal to (<=)
    • Equal to (=)
    • Not equal to (!=)
  • Logical Operations:
    • Logical AND (&&)
    • Logical OR (||)
    • Bitwise AND (&)

​
Function Calls

You can call functions within formulas. A function call consists of a function name, a pair of parentheses, and parameters inside the parentheses. Parameters are separated by commas. For example: sum(1, 2, 3) calls a function named sum with three parameters: 1, 2, and 3.

​
Other Structures

  1. Parentheses: You can use parentheses to change operation precedence, such as (1 + 2) * 3.
  2. Comments: To improve formula readability or provide additional context for other users, you can add comments. Block comments are enclosed by /* and */, while line comments start with //.
  3. Whitespace: In formulas, whitespace, line breaks, and comments are typically ignored, but they can help improve formula readability.
