Operator Precedence
Let’s study the operators that hold precedence over others.
We'll cover the following
Overview
Operator precedence determines the order with which different parts of the code/expression should be evaluated. For instance, 1 + 1 * 5 would give us 6 rather than 10 as *
has higher precedence than +
. If we wanted 10 we could write the expression as (1 + 1) * 5 as ()
has higher precedence than *
.
Precedence table
Below, you’ll find the precedence, with operator precedence being highest at the top and getting lower as you come down. Each operator has a higher precedence than the operators in the rows that follow it.
