Int32 Floating point numbers 221.12, 43.76, and 5.9 Decimal Scientific notation You can use the e to define the power of 10 (10^). 1.22e1 1e2 1e+2 1e-2 .1e-2 1e10 Double Dates and Times Must be enclosed between sharps .

#2008/01/31# // for en-US culture

DateTime Boolean True or False Boolean Strings Any character between single quotes ' is evaluated as String.

'ServiceNow' Parameters A parameter as a name, and can be optionally contained inside brackets.

2 + x, 2 + [x]

Function A function is made of a name followed by braces, containing optionally any value as arguments. Abs(1), doSomehting(1, 'dummy')

Operators Expressions can be combined using operators. Each operator as a precedence priority. Here is the list of those expression's priority. primary unary power multiplicative additive relational logical Logical These operators can do some logical comparison between other expressions: or || && true or false

The and operator has a higher priority than the or, thus in the example above, false and true are evaluated first.

Relational Relational operators are used to compare values. These operators always result in a boolean value. =, ==, !=, <> , >= 1
