The 1010data Macro Language is the most powerful and direct way to interact with 1010data's platform.
Difficulty criteria
Each recipe is equipped with a difficulty measure based on the criteria discussed in this section. A recipe holding a specific difficulty rating can contain one more of the elements in the description of that level or a lower level.

- What is in a recipe?
  Each recipe in this Cookbook, with the exception of the Debugging Guide, contains the same basic elements. This page describes the contents of each section contained in a recipe and the elements that make a Debugging Recipe different.
- Difficulty criteria
  Each recipe is equipped with a difficulty measure based on the criteria discussed in this section. A recipe holding a specific difficulty rating can contain one more of the elements in the description of that level or a lower level.
- Query optimization
  Often there is more than one solution to a single problem, and depending on the problem and the data, different approaches can produce better performance. It is important to understand what impacts query performance and how to translate that into optimizing your own queries.

Difficulty criteria

Each recipe is equipped with a difficulty measure based on the criteria discussed in this section. A recipe holding a specific difficulty rating can contain one more of the elements in the description of that level or a lower level.

Level 1

Uses mainly basic core operations
May use additional functions where the inputs are direct values and/or column names

Level 2

Uses string manipulations
Passes values from one function to another

Level 3

Uses block code with programmatic operations, such as <for>, <foreach>, and <if>... etc.
Uses basic QuickApp operations such as various layouts and basic widgets

Level 4

Uses a <loop> operation
Uses multiple nested operations
QuickApp that:
- Introduces basic widget interaction
- Creates charts or tables

Level 5

Uses modeling and analysis based g_functions
Uses nested <loop> operations
QuickApp that:
- Passes variables between widgets
- Uses nest widgets
- Uses <do> statements that set variables for later use
