 === [blue]`but` operator
 [blue]`but` is an infixed operator. Its operands can be any type of expression. It evaluates the left expression first, then the right expression. The value of the right expression is the final result. Examples: [blue]`5 but 2` returns 2, [blue]`x=2*3 but x-1` returns 5.
 
-[blue]`but` is very similar to [blue]`;`. The only difference is that [blue]`;` can't be used inside parenthesis [blue]`;(` and [blue]`)`.

 === Assignment operator [blue]`=`
 The assignment operator [blue]`=` is used to define variable in the evaluation context or to change their value (see _ExprContext_).
