Executing an expression

<h1>
Executing an expression
</h1>
<p>
Executing an expression evaluates an expression but does not display a result.
</p>
<p>
If you select the expression to execute and click the <strong>Execute</strong> button in the toolbar, no result is
displayed, but the code is executed.&nbsp;&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
For example, if you type and highlight <code>System.out.println(&quot;Hello World&quot;)</code>, and click the <strong>Execute</strong> button, <em>Hello World</em>
appears in the Console view, but no result is displayed in the scrapbook editor or the Expressions view.
