Name	Type	Description

Example

The target expression x = x + 5; matches the following CodeXM pattern:

    simpleStatement {
        .expression == assignmentOperator
    };

Similarly, a statement with the callLocalFcn(); function call matches the following CodeXM pattern:

    simpleStatement{
        .expression == functionCall
    };

To find all function calls in simple statements, you could use the following CodeXM pattern:

    for c in codes {
        where c matches simpleStatement {
            .expression == functionCall
        }
    };
