izraz

Izraz is a term used in several South Slavic languages, notably Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, and Slovenian, to denote expression, phrase, or form of expression. In everyday language it can refer to a fixed phrase or idiom whose meaning is not directly deducible from the individual words, as well as to the way someone expresses themselves. In linguistics, izraz may denote a syntactic unit such as a noun phrase or verb phrase, and it can describe figurative language or idioms. The phrase “facial expression” is commonly rendered as izraz lica in many contexts.

In mathematics and logic, izraz denotes a finite combination of symbols that denotes a value or a truth value. Examples include simple arithmetic expressions like 3x + 5, or more complex ones such as (a > b) and (b ≠ 0). Expressions may involve numbers, variables, and operators, and they can often be simplified or evaluated according to rules of algebra or logic.

In computer science, izraz is the programming-language concept of an expression: a syntactic construct that can be evaluated to produce a value. Expressions are used wherever a value is needed, such as in arithmetic computations, boolean checks, or as arguments to functions. They differ from statements in that they yield a value. Some languages treat certain assignments as expressions, while others define assignment strictly as a statement.

Overall, izraz serves as a unifying term across language, mathematics, and computing to name constructs that convey value, meaning, or expressive form within their respective systems.
