<h2>OperatorPrecedence</h2>
<p>by REAS <http: reas.com="">
If you don't explicitly state the order in which
an expression is evaluated, they are evaluated based
on the operator precedence. For example, in the statement
"4 + 28", the 2 will first be multiplied by 8 and then the result will
be added to 4. This is because the "*" has a higher precedence
than the "+". To avoid ambiguity in reading the program,
it is recommended that is statement is written as "4 + (28)".
The order of evaluation can be controlled through placement of
parenthesis in the code. A table of operator precedence follows below.</http:></p>
