  <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>
