-# Arithmetic Operators
-
-The arithmetic operators take numeric operands and produce numeric
-results.
-
-* `A + B`
- The sum of `A` and `B`.
-
-* `A - B`
- The difference when `B` is subtracted from `A`.
-
-* `A * B`
- The product of `A` and `B`. If either `A` or `B` is 0, then the result is
- 0, even if the other operand is missing.
-
-* `A / B`
- The quotient of `A` divided by `B`. If `A` is 0, then the result is 0,
- even if `B` is missing. If `B` is zero, the result is system-missing.
-
-* `A ** B`
- Yields the result of raising `A` to the power `B`. If `A` is
- negative and `B` is not an integer, the result is system-missing.
- `0**0` is also system-missing.
-
-* `- A`
- Reverses the sign of `A`.

-# Boolean Values
-
-Some PSPP operators and expressions work with Boolean values, which
-represent true/false conditions. Booleans have only three possible
-values: 0 (false), 1 (true), and system-missing (unknown).
-System-missing is neither true nor false and indicates that the true
-value is unknown.
-
- Boolean-typed operands or function arguments must take on one of
-these three values. Other values are considered false, but provoke a
-warning when the expression is evaluated.
-
- Strings and Booleans are not compatible, and neither may be used in
-place of the other.

-# Grouping Operators
-
-Parentheses (`()`) are the grouping operators. Surround an expression
-with parentheses to force early evaluation.
-
- Parentheses also surround the arguments to functions, but in that
-situation they act as punctuators, not as operators.

-# Logical Operators
-
-The logical operators take logical operands and produce logical results,
-meaning "true or false." Logical operators are not true Boolean
-operators because they may also result in a system-missing value. *Note
-Boolean Values::, for more information.
-
-* `A AND B`
- `A & B`
- True if both `A` and `B` are true, false otherwise. If one operand
- is false, the result is false even if the other is missing. If both
- operands are missing, the result is missing.
-
-* `A OR B`
- `A | B`
- True if at least one of `A` and `B` is true. If one operand is
- true, the result is true even if the other operand is missing. If
- both operands are missing, the result is missing.
-
-* `NOT A`
- `~A`
- True if `A` is false. If the operand is missing, then the result is
- missing.

-# Missing Values in Expressions
-
-Most numeric operators yield system-missing when given any
-system-missing operand. A string operator given any system-missing
-operand typically results in the empty string. Exceptions are listed
-under particular operator descriptions.
-
- String user-missing values are not treated specially in expressions.
-
- User-missing values for numeric variables are always transformed into
-the system-missing value, except inside the arguments to the `VALUE` and
-`SYSMIS` functions.
-
- The missing-value functions can be used to precisely control how
-missing values are treated in expressions. *Note Missing Value
-Functions::, for more details.
