In mathematics, and most programming languages, an expression is an entity which combines a number of data items (numbers, variable values, etc) with operators, to produce a value which is then used in some way - perhaps saved in main memory or a CPU register for use later in the program.

An example of an expression would be ((A * 3) + b).
