title	Example - Operator precedence

Code Block

consume {
    boolean a = false;
    boolean b = false;
    boolean c = true;
    boolean x;
    // The following statement will be parsed as 
	// false && (false || true)
    // and evaluate to false
    x = a && b || c;
    debug(x);
    // This will evaluate to true
    x = (a && b) || c;
    debug(x);
}

Note

title	Java and APL may differ

In some circumstances, APL and Java are handling numeric values differently. APL may be automatically expanded to avoid overflow, this applies also to constant expressions.

Example 1: A statement like: long x=1000000000000; is ok in APL, but will not compile in Java.

Example 2: An expression like: long x=1000000*1000000; works as expected in APL. But in Java, it would assign x to the value -727379968, due to overflow.
