Expression statements

An expression statement contains an expression. The expression can be null.

An expression statement evaluates expression, then discards the value of the expression. An expression statement without an expression is a null statement.

The following are examples of statements:

printf("Account Number: \n");          /* call to the printf    */
marks = dollars * exch_rate;                /* assignment to marks     */
(difference < 0) ? ++losses : ++gain;  /* conditional increment */
