Evaluation procedure for call expressions:
add ( 2 , 3 )
Operator Operand Operand
Operators and operands are also expressions
1. Evaluate the operator and then the operand subexpressions
So they evaluate to values

Evaluation procedure for call expressions:
add ( 2 , 3 )
Operator Operand Operand
Operators and operands are also expressions
1. Evaluate the operator and then the operand subexpressions
2. Apply the function that is the value of the operator subexpression to the
arguments that are the values of the operand subexpression
So they evaluate to values
