Operator_Precedence
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 + 2 * 8", 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 + (2 * 8)". The order of evaluation can be controlled through placement of parenthesis in the code. A table of operator precedence follows below.

// The highest precedence is at the top of the list and

// Multiplicative: * / % 
// Additive: + - 
// Relational: < > <= >= 
// Equality: == != 
// Logical AND: && 
// Logical OR: || 
// Assignment: = += -= *= /= %=
