Terms An Operator is an expression that does something to Operands.
+,-,*,/ are examples of operators.
10, [Site 1.A-NVrms.VAL], SQRT(2) are examples of operands.
Functions are generally regarded as operators but since by syntax they behave as
operands (as complete expressions), they are categorized as operands in this text.
Parameters are data that go into functions.
The expression MOD([Site 1.A-NV.VAL];2.0) has two parameters, "[Site 1.A-
NV.VAL]" and "2.0".
