// Value Expression

value / 2

// Current property value divided by 2

// Linear Counterbalance

s = thisComp.layer("Control").effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
a = transform.position;
b = thisComp.layer("Null").toWorld([0,0,0]);
linear(s, 0, 100, a, b)

// Adjust a Slider Control (from 0 to 100) to balance between two values (a and b)

// Linear & Ease Expressions

linear(time, outPoint - 2, outPoint, 100, 0)
ease(transform.opacity, 0, 100, 25, 75)

// Linear fade from 100 to 0 for the last 2 seconds of a layer’s duration
// Ease from 25 to 75 as the Opacity input animates from 0 to 100

// Loop Expressions

loopOut("cycle", 0) // Repeat from start to finish, default loop mode
loopOut("pingpong", 2) // Loops last three keyframes back and forth
loopOut("offset", 0) // Repeats animation using last keyframe as new start point
loopOut("continue") // Does not loop, but continues onwards with current velocity

// loopOut evaluates from the first keyframe towards the layer outPoint
// loopIn can be substituted to evaluate from layer inPoint towards last keyframe
