## Formula syntax

JReport formula syntax is a syntax with simple flow control and other statements. The Formula Editor window is where you write your formula statements. You should follow JReport formula syntax when writing formulas.

In this syntax, sequence and selection control structure are supported. You can use it to control the execution of the statements. In this syntax, a parameter can be used as variable, and its value can be used in computation or making decisions. Since the value of the parameter is input before the report is run, the report can respond to user input and generate different results.
