What is an Expression? What is a Statement? Difference between Expression and Statement?..

Answer / Vivek Chand

In programming, both expressions and statements are used to instruct the computer to perform actions. However, they differ in their structure and purpose: An 'expression' evaluates to a value, while a 'statement' is simply a command that does not necessarily return a value. For example, `5 + 3` is an expression because it calculates the sum of 5 and 3 and returns the result (8). On the other hand, `println("Hello World")` is a statement because it prints "Hello World" to the console without returning any value.
