Operator precedence: Difference between revisions

Plain English treats an expression if it contains any of the operators 'plus', 'minus', 'times', 'divided by', or 'then'. Arguments in expressions are passed in by reference. Expressions are evaluated from left to right, ignoring traditional precedence rules.

For example, when evaluating 2 + 3 * 4, Plain englishEnglish will calculate (2 + 3) * 4, and not 2 + (3 * 4).
