8.5 Expression Terms
The entries in the metric definition file use three types of expression terms:
metric expressions, which return a number or string value, or reference a model element
set expressions, which return a set or multiset of model elements or metric values,
condition expressions, which return a Boolean value (true or false).
The following subsections describe each of these expression types in an informal manner. A formal definition is given in
Appendix E: "Project File Format Definitions"
.
