Expressions are where the programmer is in control, so the design tries to do as much as possible with them before introducing special syntax.</p> +<p>A <em>program</em> is a unit of source code that's evaluated, such as a source file, or one line of REPL input (one run of the <code><span class='Value'>bqn</span></code> executable often involves multiple programs). Like a <a href="#blocks">block</a>, it's a sequence of expressions to be evaluated in order. It has a result, which is used it the program was evaluated from BQN with <code><span class='Function'>•BQN</span></code>, <code><span class='Function'>•Import</span></code> or similar. An error might occur when a program is running; this ends execution unless it's <a href="assert.html#catch">caught</a>.</p> <h2 id="precedence"><a class="header" href="#precedence">Precedence</a></h2> <p>Here's a full table of precedence for BQN's glyphs (broader than "operator precedence", as an "operator" usually just corresponds to a function). Entries at the bottom make the biggest divisions in the program, while the ones further up are subdivisions.</p> <table> |
