== Building a step ==
Each rule consists of steps. Every type of step can be described as an expression with usually three parts (from left to right):
* '''Variable''' - usually this is the thing that we're about to modify in this step
* '''Operation''' - this is the operation, comparison or function that we perform
* '''Argument(s)''' (optional) - parameters of the function
the left side that we will refer as variable, right side which we will refer as argument and an operation (like function or comparison) between them. We can create these types of steps Function Step, Condition step and Variable step.


== Function types ==
