Statements¶
Statements are used to run some action. Safe-DS only has three type of statements:
- Expression statements evaluate an expression and discard any results. They are only useful if the expression has side effects, such as writing to a file.
- Assignments also evaluate an expression, but then store results in placeholders. This allows reusing the results multiple times without having to recompute them.
- Output statements evaluate an expression as well, and provide options to inspect its results. Unlike when using assignments, the result cannot be reused.
