Expressions

(OP)
Can any one explain type of expression such as integer, boolean, list etc.. with example of nx?

RE: Expressions

All of that information should be in the online help documentation installed (hopefully) with NX.
They don't really have any different meaning in the NX world than they do from a programmer's world.
Most of them are self explanatory.

RE: Expressions

Ramani, are you attending college ?

RE: Expressions

The types of data you mentioned is not directly referenced to NX, they are mostly basic notions of programming. You can read a special literature to clearify.

Gentlemen --

These are actually all very useful inside NX as well, and not just for programming.

Here are several threads in this forum addressing use cases involving these various types:

Boolean expressions work great with Suppression by Expression (for both features and components.)

String expressions are important for workflows integrating expressions with Object Attributes or Part Attributes.

NX handles Number expressions pretty well in most places where a programmer would use an Integer data type. But NX can use both.

List expressions are very useful for storing and displaying options -- particularly in conjunction with tools like Product Template Studio:

Does that help a bit?
