<para>A user defined function declaration consists of a formal parameter list and an expression. That expression is evaluated when the function is called (see below). The result of the function call is the result of the expression. The expression can contain parameter names, they are treated as usual variables.</para>

If the expression modifies by-reference parameter, the variable that is passed as this parameter gets modified.

<para>ISPP uses C/C++-like expression syntax. It supports simple and compound assignment operators, conditional operator, and sequential evaluation operator. Although ISPP is an interpreter, it does support short circuit boolean evaluation and never evaluates expressions (nor calls any user defined functions mentioned in those expressions) that should not be evaluated due to specific rules (for example, when conditional operator is used, always only 2 out of 3 operands are evaluated).</para>
