The function evaluates all of its arguments, left to right, and returns the result of evaluating the last argument.
Evaluate(string_expression1 [, string_expression2 [, ... ] ] )
Valid expressions to be evaluated.
String expressions can be arbitrarily complex. Note, however, that they are somewhat more complicated to write because they are inside a string. In particular, if the string expression is double-quoted, double-quotes inside the expression must be escaped.
