Expression Editor Assistant

The Expression Editor Assistant helps you write expressions by checking for errors as you type. It also assists by completing simple tasks for you. For example, if you type a quotation mark (to specify a string value), it inserts the other quotation mark for you. This ensures that your string value is contained within quotation marks. In another example, if you begin to type an operator, Expression Editor Assistant will recognize the operator, finish typing it, and insert "?" symbols for missing operands. This type of assistance and auto-correction can be a little unnerving, but it's helpful when you become proficient writing expressions. It also ensures correct syntax.
