For example, 5 + 2 in this expression, addition operation can be performed between the two operands (5 and 2), and the result of the operation would be 7. If there is only one operator in the expression, we do not require applying any rule. In the above expression, addition operation would be performed on the two expressions, i.e., p+q and r+s, and then the multiplication operation would be performed. While performing the operations on the expression, we need to follow some set of rules to evaluate the result.

The operands for the first plus operator are p and q, the operands for the second plus operator are r and s.

In the above expression, there are three operators. In the above expression, both the expressions of the multiplication operator are the operands, i.e., (p + q), and (r + s) are the operands. Operand does not have to be always a constant or a variable it can also be an expression itself. When the operator is written in between the operands, then it is known as infix notation. In the above expressions, 5, 6 are the operands while '+', '-', and '*' are the operators. An Operand is an object or a value on which the operation is to be performed. All these components must be arranged according to a set of rules so that all these expressions can be evaluated using the set of rules.Īll the above expressions have a common structure, i.e., we have an operator between the two operands. An expression consists of constants, variables, and symbols.
