Building expressions

In ColdFusion, you build expressions as you need them. The expressions can include simple elements, such as the expressions shown previously, or they can include complex elements, such as arithmetic functions, strings, and decision operators. (You build some complex expressions in Part II of this book.)

As mentioned, it is important that elements are identified properly in your expression so ColdFusion processes them as expected, and you can avoid unnecessary errors. When writing expressions, consider the following coding practices:

Character case consistency
When to use the pound (#) sign
When quotation marks are needed
