To me, the term "evaluate" suggests that the piece of code returns a value that one is interested in, while "execute" suggest that the code has some side effect and doesn't return a value (or one that is ignored). Though I doubt this is a very firm distinction that is strictly adhered to. For practical purposes, you can probably consider them synonymous. -- Joost Kremers Life has its moments
