Operators

Aspen Graphics evaluates formulas using standard algebraic rules:

Expressions are evaluated from left to right
The expression in the inner-most set of parentheses is evaluated first.
Operators are evaluated in their turn, according to the algebraic order of operation

Operator	Operation	Order of Evaluation
^	Exponentiation	1
-	Negative	2
+	Positive	2
*	Multiplication	3
/	Division	3
MODULO	Modulus	3
+	Addition	4
-	Subtraction	4
==	Equals	5
!=	Not Equals	5
>	Greater Than	5
<	Less Than	5
>=	Greater Than or Equal to	5
<=	Less Than or Equal to	5
AND	Boolean AND	NA
OR	Boolean OR	NA
\|	Or	Used in formula writing to separate string directives.
