+<p>Binary operators start to get more interesting.  The basic idea here is that
+we recursively emit code for the left-hand side of the expression, then the 
+right-hand side, then we compute the result of the binary expression.  In this
+code, we do a simple switch on the opcode to create the right LLVM instruction.
+</p>
 
+<p>In this example, the LLVM builder class is starting to show its value.  
+Because it knows where to insert the newly created instruction, you just have to
+specificy what instruction to create (e.g. with <tt>CreateAdd</tt>), which
+operands to use (<tt>L</tt> and <tt>R</tt> here) and optionally provide a name
+for the generated instruction.  One nice thing about LLVM is that the name is 
+just a hint: if there are multiple additions in a single function, the first
+will be named "addtmp" and the second will be "autorenamed" by adding a suffix,
+giving it a name like "addtmp42".  Local value names for instructions are purely
+optional, but it makes it much easier to read the IR dumps.</p>
+
+<p><a href="../LangRef.html#instref">LLVM instructions</a> are constrained to
+have very strict type properties: for example, the Left and Right operators of
+an <a href="../LangRef.html#i_add">add instruction</a> have to have the same
+type, and that the result of the add matches the operands.  Because all values
+in Kaleidoscope are doubles, this makes for very simple code for add, sub and
+mul.</p>
+
+<p>On the other hand, LLVM specifies that the <a 
+href="../LangRef.html#i_fcmp">fcmp instruction</a> always returns an 'i1' value
+(a one bit integer).  However, Kaleidoscope wants the value to be a 0.0 or 1.0
+value.  In order to get these semantics, we combine the fcmp instruction with
+a <a href="../LangRef.html#i_uitofp">uitofp instruction</a>.  This instruction
+converts its input integer into a floating point value by treating the input
+as an unsigned value.  In contrast, if we used the <a 
+href="../LangRef.html#i_sitofp">sitofp instruction</a>, the Kaleidoscope '<'
+operator would return 0.0 and -1.0, depending on the input value.</p>

+<p>Code generation for function calls is quite straight-forward with LLVM.  The
+code above first looks the name of the function up in the LLVM Module's symbol
+table.  Recall that the LLVM Module is the container that holds all of the
+functions we are JIT'ing.  By giving each function the same name as what the
+user specifies, we can use the LLVM symbol table to resolve function names for
+us.</p>
+
+<p>Once we have the function to call, we recursively codegen each argument that
+is to be passed in, and create an LLVM <a href="../LangRef.html#i_call">call
+instruction</a>.  Note that LLVM uses the native C calling conventions by
+default, allowing these calls to call into standard library functions like
+"sin" and "cos" with no additional effort.</p>
+
+<p>This wraps up our handling of the four basic expressions that we have so far
+in Kaleidoscope.  Feel free to go in and add some more.  For example, by 
+browsing the <a href="../LangRef.html">LLVM language reference</a> you'll find
+several other interesting instructions that are really easy to plug into our
+basic framework.</p>
