Description

Language
From link below...

Arcade is a portable, lightweight, and secure expression language used to create custom content in ArcGIS applications. Like other expression languages, it can perform mathematical calculations, format text, and evaluate logical statements. It also supports multi-statement expressions, variables, and flow control statements. Arcade is unique when compared to other expression and scripting languages because of its inclusion of feature and geometry data types.
