Expression Versus Statement

Question

I\'m asking with regards to c#, but I assume its the same in most other languages.

Does anyone have a good definition of expressions and statements

Answer 1

I prefer the meaning of statement in the formal logic sense of the word. It is one that changes the state of one or more of the variables in the computation, enabling a true or false statement to be made about their value(s).

I guess there will always be confusion in the computing world and science in general when new terminology or words are introduced, existing words are 'repurposed' or users are ignorant of the existing, established or 'proper' terminology for what they are describing
