Question

For homework I’m writing a report and don’t know what this is called: when the value of the variable is substituted into the statment.

Simple example:

var weekDay = Thursday
print “Today is “+ Weekday

In words I want to say ‘print “Today is “+Weekday is _____ to “Today is Thursday”‘
What goes where _____ is?

Actual example

<cfset aTable = "bookings">
<cfquery name="client" datasource="accounts">
    SELECT * FROM #aTable#
</cfquery>

What is the word the describes the way this is related to the statement

<cfset aTable = "bookings">
<cfquery name="client" datasource="accounts">
    SELECT * FROM bookings
</cfquery>

Would you say “after the value of the variable is substituted into its identifier”?

Answer 1

"Today is " + Weekday evaluates to "Today is Thursday"
