Task

Operators that are in the same cell (there may be several rows of operators listed in a cell) are evaluated with the same level of precedence, in the given direction.

State whether arguments are passed by value or by reference.

8th

In 8th it's very simple: the currently invoked word has precedence, and items are operated upon in the order they are popped off the stack.

Ada

Ada Reference Manual, ISO/IEC 8652:2012(E), section 4.5. "Operators and Expression Evaluation" contains the listing.

Operator Description Operator Description Operator Description Operator Description
** Power abs Absolute not Logical Negate
* Multiply / Divide mod Modulus rem Remainder
+ Unary Add (Identity) - (Unary) Negate
+ Binary Add - Binary Subtract & Concatenation
= Equals /= Not Equal < <= Less, Less or Equal > >= More, More or Equal
and And or Or xor XOR

ALGOL 60

Priority Description Operators Associativity
highest
1 power 'POWER' left
2 unary operator (opposite) + - left
3 multiplication & division * / '/' left
4 addition & subtraction + - left
5 comparison 'EQUAL' 'NOT EQUAL'
'LESS' 'NOT LESS'
'GREATER' 'NOT GREATER'
left
6 logical NOT 'NOT' left
7 logical AND 'AND' left
8 logical OR 'OR' left
9 equivalence 'EQUIV' left
10 implication 'IMPL' left
lowest

Note: '/' is the Euclidean division

ALGOL 68

The coder may define new operators and both those and the pre-defined ones may be overloaded and their priorities may be changed.

Array, Procedure, Dereference, Selection and Generator operations

priority Operation +Algol68Rev0 +Algol68G
Effectively 12
(Primary)
dereferencing, deproceduring(~,~), subscripting[~], rowing[~,] & slicing[~:~] currying(~,), diag, trnsp, row, col
Effectively 11
(Secondary)
of (selection), loc & heap (generators) new (generator)

These are technically not operators, rather they are considered "units associated with names"

Monadic operators

Algol68 "Worthy characters" +Algol68Rev0&1 +Algol68C,G +Algol68Rev0
10 not, up, down, lwb, upb,

-, abs, arg, bin, entier, leng, level, odd, repr, round, shorten

¬, ↑, ↓, ⌊, ⌈ ~, norm, trace, t, det, inv lws, ups, ⎩, ⎧, btb, ctb

Standard dyadic operators with associated priorities

9 +*, i +×, ⊥ !
8 shl, shr, **, up, down, lwb, upb ↑, ↓, ⌊, ⌈ lws, ups, ⎩, ⎧
7 *, /,  %, over,  %*, mod, elem ×, ÷, ÷×, ÷*, %×, □ ÷:

-:=, +:=, *:=, /:=, %:=, %*:=, +=:

×:=, ÷:=, ÷×:=, ÷*:=,  %×:= minus, plus, div, overb, modb, ÷::=, prus

Note: Tertiaries include names nil and ○.

Assignation and identity relations etc

Again, these are technically not operators, rather they are considered "units associated with names"

priority
(Quaternaries)
Algol68 "Worthy characters" +Algol68Rev0&1 +Algol68C +Algol68Rev0
Effectively 0 :=, =:, = , :=:, :/=:, is, isnt, at , @ :≠:, : :~=: ct, ::, ctab, ::=, .., is not

Note: Quaternaries include names skip and ~.

Algol 68 also includes (something like) C's ternary conditions, e.g.:

  • case ~ in ~ ouse ~ in ~ out ~ esac or simply "( ~ | ~ |: ~ | ~ | ~ )",
  • if ~ then ~ elif ~ then ~ else ~ fi or simply "( ~ | ~ |: ~ | ~ | ~ )",

And (unlike C's comma operator) the ";" can be used to indicate statements are done sequentially, where as the "," indicates that the statements can be done "collaterally", e.g. in parallel. Or a parallel clause can be used to force statements to be executed in parallel, e.g. par( ~, ~, ... )

Key: The super scripts indicate the following:

  • ALGOL 68Rev0 indicates Algol 68 Final Report (Essentially Revision 0)
  • ALGOL 68Rev0&1 indicates Algol 68 Revised Report (Essentially Revision 1)
  • ALGOL 68C indicates Cambridge University Algol 68[1].
  • ALGOL 68G indicates Algol 68 Genie[2]

unary - Negation n/a
^ Exponentiation Right to left
*, /, % Multiplication, Division, Remainder Left to right

Bracmat

Bracmat has 15 binary operators and 12 unary operators, not counting the minus

The binary operators have a simple precedence order and all binary operators are right-associative.

Precedence Operator Description Example Note
Highest _ In pattern: matches any binary operator. Outside pattern: evaluates to last matched operator a*b:?x_?y & p_q becomes p*q
$ Function application. Evaluates rhs and then applies function on lhs put$!x
' Function application. Applies function on lhs to unevaluated rhs apply'(?a 13 ?z)
\D Symbolic differentiation x\D(x^2) differentiates x^2 to x
\L Logarithm e\Ly is the natural logarithm of y
^ Exponentiation x^2 is the square of x
* Multiplication a*b is the product of a and b neutral element: 1
+ Addition a+b is the sum of a and b neutral element: 0
white space constructs a white space separated list a b neutral element: empty string ""
: Match subject on the left with pattern on the right a b c d:? c ?
& "and then" 1:2 & out$"The end of time is nearing"
| "or else" 1:2 | out$"Don't think so"
, constructs a comma separated list 1,2,3
. constructs a dot separated list or tree in general (aa.bb).cc.dd
Lowest = define swap=a b.!arg:(?a.?b)&(!b.!a)

Precedence among unary operators is a mixed bag. Unary operators can modify something that is to the right of the unary operator, which can be another unary operator, a string or a binary operator.

Of the unary operators ? and ! (or !!), the latter have the higher priority. So 17:?!x assigns the value 17 to the variable that happens to be the value of x. (Like *x = 17 in C). (The unary operators ! and !! cannot be combined and are reduced to !!)

The negation operator ~ negates the first of the unary operators / # < > % @ that is present. If none of these unary operators is present, the negation operator negates the node (string or expression with binary operator) itself, with the meaning "not equal to". Bang operators ! or !! turn their operand into a variable that is supposed to have a value. The negation operator operates on the value (direct resp. indirect) of a variable, not on the variable name itself.

The combination ~<> has to be read in one piece, meaning "not unequal", which is not quite unequal to ~. It is used for case insensitive matching.

Some combinations of unary operators have currently no meaning and are silently reinterpreted: ~?x is the same as ?x and ~?!x is the same as ?!x. But ~#?x is not the same as #?x.

The [ and ` (grave accent) are outside any considerations of precedence.

If you are wondering what the discussed unary operators are for, see this table:

Operator Description Example
! or !! retrieves value (x=17)&!x becomes 17
? (In a pattern) Assigns value. Or is a wildcard. 1 2 3:?x 3 ? & !x becomes 1 2
` Cuts corners, like FENCE in SNOBOL4 or ! in Prolog 1 2 3:? `?x 3 assigns 2 to x, because assigning 1 2 is never tried.
@ Accept atomic subjects only 2*a+3*b+c+6*d:?+@+? succeeds, because c is atomic.
% Accept anything but neutral element 8 2 3:%?x ? assigns 8 to x
> ( < ) Greater (less) than 1 2 3 4:? >%@2 ?x assigns 4 to x
# Accept only a number a:#*?x assigns a to x and matches 1 with #
/ Accept only a non-integer number 1 2 5/2 3:? /?x ? assigns 5/2 to x
~ Negate a:~b (succeeds) 5:~<5 (succeeds)
[ Catches position in subject rather than part of the subject itself a b c d:? [?p&!p gives 4, the length of the subject in number of elements. a b c d:? [2 ?x assigns c d to x.

C

Same as C++.

C++

The following is a table that lists the precedence and associativity of all the operators in the C and C++ languages. An operator's precedence is unaffected by overloading.

Caché ObjectScript

There is no operator precedence in COS or in MUMPS. It is evaluated left-to-right. Operations can be forced to evaluate in a specific order using parentheses. Example:

Output:
SAMPLES>write 18 / 2 * 3 + 7

34 SAMPLES>write 18 / (2 * 3) + 7 10

Clojure

As is the case with LISPs in general, there is no need to worry about operator precedence. This is one of the benefits of S-Expressions and prefix notation. All functions evaluate left to right and inside out. The operators in Clojure are just functions, and everything is fully parenthesized.

That being said, there is a macro expansion phase that precedes compilation, and with macros you have great power to change the rules. A couple of the most common macros with respect to ordering are the thread-first macro and the thread-last macro. These allow you to order expressions as a chain, which in many cases is preferable for readability.

COBOL

The following data was derived from the 2009 draft COBOL 20XX Standard.

Arithmetic Expressions

Precedence Operator(s) Description
Highest + - Unary plus and minus
** Exponentiation
* / Multiplication and Division
Lowest + - Addition and Subtraction

Boolean Expressions

Precedence Operator Description
Highest B-NOT Negation
B-AND Conjunction
B-XOR Exclusive disjunction
Lowest B-OR Inclusive disjunction

Concatenation Expressions

The & operator is the only operator used in concatenation expressions.

Logical Expressions

Precedence Operator Description
Highest NOT Logical negation
AND Logical conjunction
Lowest OR Logical inclusive OR

Common Lisp

There is no need to worry about operator precedence in Common Lisp and Lisp's in general. Operators (like + - * / ) are normal functions and all of the code is organized as S-expressions with a prefixed polish notation. In result all of the code is parenthesized and the code is evaluated from the innermost S-expression to the outermost S-expression.

Any sequence of free operators (that does not already have a defined meaning, such as = or ?) can be used as an alias for unary or binary operations.

The set of free operators is:

: \ ? = ~ / ! # $ % & * + - < > @ ^ ` | , ' ;

Special binary aliases such as () and [] can also be used.

Refer to section 8.32.21 of the aforementioned link for more details.

MSDN documentation

Factor

Because Factor uses postfix notation and relies entirely on fixed-argument function composition, all operators have the same precedence. Think of using a calculator that uses reverse-polish notation. Instead of writing (3+5)*2, you'd write 3 5 + 2 *. There is no need for parentheses to clarify the order of operations.

Forth

Forth as the language of a stack machine does not require operator precedence. Since all arguments for operations are taken from the stack the order is simply left to right, in the order of the source code. Even the brackets used for the S-expression are not needed with reverse Polish notation.

Fortran

Furor

Furor is basically an "RPN-style" language. Thus, similarly to the Forth, Furor as the language of a stack machine does not require operator precedence. Since all arguments for operations are taken from the stack the order is simply left to right, in the order of the source code.

FutureBasic

When an expression includes more than one operator, the order in which the operations are performed can affect the result. When an operator appears to the left or right of a parenthetical expression, all of the operations within the parentheses are performed first. When several operators all appear within the same matching pair of parentheses (or outside of all parentheses), the order in which their operations are performed is determined by their order of precedence, with "higher precedence" operations being performed before "lower precedence" ones. For example, consider this expression: 4 + 7 * 5 The "*" operator has a higher precedence than the "+" operator (see the table below). So, when this expression is evaluated, first 7 is multiplied by 5 to get 35; then that result is added to 4 to get the final answer of 39. The following table lists the operators in order of their precedence, from highest to lowest. When an expression contains several operators at the same level of precedence (and within the same depth of parentheses), their operations are always performed from left to right.

Binary operators of the same precedence associate from left to right. Associativity has no meaning for unary operators.

Syntactic elements not in the list are not considered operators in Go; if they present ambiguity in order of evaluation, the ambiguity is resolved by other rules specific to those elements.

Precedence Grammatical classification Associativity
highest conjunctions long left scope
adverbs
lowest verbs long right scope

See http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/partsofspeech.htm for tokens in each grammatical class.

Note that other parts of speech do not have any precedence, because they are not "operators".

Note that this is an imprecise statement of the grammatical rules. For a complete treatment, see http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dicte.htm

Here's an informal treatment of the grammar:

Conjunctions require a left and right argument, either of which may be a noun or a verb. If one argument is omitted the conjunction is curried with the remaining argument, forming an adverb (if the right argument is omitted, the precedence of the conjunction is treated as lower than the precedence of a verb).

Adverbs require a single left argument, which may be a noun or a verb.

Verbs require a right argument which must be a noun and may accept an optional left argument (which must also be a noun). Unless we're working with a dangling (rightmost) conjunction, verbs have lower precedence than adverbs and conjunctions. (A conjunction on the far right without a right argument is treated as having lower precedence than verbs.) That said, note that the form verb verb verb is legal - this creates a derived verb whose arguments are given to the left and right verb and their results will be the argument for the middle verb. Longer trains are treated by using this mechanism on the rightmost three verbs. A shorter train is also given special treatment (the right verb gets the right argument, the left verb gets a left argument and the result of the right verb).

Nouns are not operators and accept no arguments.

The result of a verb must be a noun.

The result of an adverb or a conjunction can have any one of these grammatical classifications, and verb results are typical (and, thus, the result of an adverb or a conjunction may accept further arguments). Adverbs and conjunctions serve a role analogous to that of macros in other languages.

JavaScript

jq

The order of precedence of jq operators is shown in the following table, which also shows operator associativity:

  1. "%right" and %left" mean respectively right and left-associative;
  2. "%nonassoc" means it is a syntax error to find the operator twice in a row;
  3. "(none)" means that that no associativity is defined.

The associativity rules can be summarized:

  1. Operators with one of the characters "=", "<", or ">" in them are non-associative;
  2. "," and "//" are right-associative;
  3. All others are or behave as left-associative operators.


Precedence Operator Associativity Description
lowest %right pipe
, %left generator
// %right specialized "or" for detecting empty streams
= += -= *= /= %= //= %nonassoc set component
or %left short-circuit "or"
and %left short-circuit "and"
!= == < > <= >= %nonassoc boolean tests
+ - %left polymorphic plus and minus
* / % %left polymorphic multiply, divide; mod
highest ? (none) post-fix operator for suppressing errors (see note [1] below)

Notes:

  1. If the expression immediately to the left of "?" raises an error, "?" suppresses it and emits nothings at all. E.g. 'error("bye")?' is equivalent to the expression 'empty'.
  2. Parentheses alter the order of evaluation in the usual way.
  3. Control structures such as if ... then ... else ... end and reduce ... as VAR (...; ...) determine the boundaries of subexpressions.

LIL

From the LIL readme.txt documentation:

     expr [...]
       combines all arguments into a single string and evaluates the
       mathematical expression in that string.  The expression can use the
       following operators (in the order presented):
       
          (a)        - parentheses
       
          -a         - negative sign
          +a         - positive sign
          ~a         - bit inversion
          !a         - logical negation
       
          a * b      - multiplication
          a / b      - floating point division
          a \ b      - integer division
          a % b      - modulo
       
          a + b      - addition
          a - b      - subtraction
       
          a << b     - bit shifting
          a >> b
       
          a <= b     - comparison
          a >= b
          a < b
          a > b
       
          a == b     - equality comparison
          a != b

          a | b      - bitwise OR
          a & b      - bitwise AND
          
          a || b     - logical OR
          a && b     - logical AND

Lua

Table available here. That table does not contain all operators, however.

Precedence Operator Description

Notes:

  1. Concatenation and exponentiation are right-associative, all other binary operators are left-associative
  2. Binding is done at the call site; therefore, method lookup is syntactically part of the call

min

min is a stack language that uses postfix notation, so for the most part, all operators have the same precedence. Sigils are a small exception. However, they de-sugar to postfix. For example, the following two lines are equivalent: <lang min>42 :my-var 42 "my-var" define</lang>

OCaml

This table contains the precedence and associativity of operators and other expression constructs in OCaml, including user-defined operators.

Oforth

Oforth uses RPN notation. There are not different operator precedences. Everything is evaluated left to right.

PARI/GP

Unless otherwise stated, operators at a given level are applied left-to-right.

Precedence Operator Description
highest : Type information for gp2c. Ignored by gp.
() Postfix function call notation.
++, -- Postfix increment or decrement operators. (Note that these work like the prefix ++ and -- operators in C.)
., [ ] Member operator (as in m.mod), selection operator (as in v[1]).
', ~, ! Postfix derivative, transpose, and factorial; prefix negation.
# Prefix cardinality operator (like length()).
^ Infix exponentiation operator, evaluated right-to-left.
+, - (unary) Prefix sign operators.
*, /, %, \, \/, <<, >> Infix multiplication, division, modulus, integer division, rounded quotient, left shift, and right shift.
+, - Infix addition and subtraction.
<, <=, >, >=, != or <>, ==, === Infix comparison operators. === tests whether two objects are identical component-wise and is stricter than ==.
&&, || Infix shortcut logical AND and OR.
=, +=, -=, *=, %=, /=, \=, \/=, <<=, >>= Infix assignment, evaluated right-to-left.
lowest -> Infix function definition.

There are some exceptions to this standard order:

  • If the short-circuit operator `&&` is used and the left expression is falsy (`0`, `[]`, etc.) then the right expression is not evaluated. Similarly, with `||` is the left is truthy then the right expression is not evaluated.
  • Assignment and all of the compound assignment operators need an lvalue on the left; if there is an expression where the rightmost part is an lvalue, assignment happens first. So `1 + n = 4 + 1` first adds 4 to 1, then assigns 5 to n, then adds 1 to 5.

See the User's Guide to PARI/GP in the documentation, section 2.4, "GP operators".

Pascal

This table contains the precedence and associativity of operators:

Priority Description Operators Associativity
highest
1 unary operators not @ left to right
2 mult operators * / div mod and shl shr as << >> left to right
3 add operators + - or xor left to right
4 relations = <> < > <= >= in is left to right
lowest

Example::
The expression ( a>n and b<n ) is equivalent to : ( ( a > (n and b) ) < n ) , so, it is invalid !
we must code:
(a>n) and (b<n)

Perl

See the relevant documentation for a table of Perl 5 operators ordered by precedence level.

PicoLisp

Translation of: Common Lisp

There is no need to worry about operator precedence in PicoLisp and Lisp's in general. All operators are normal functions and all of the code is organized as S-expressions with a prefixed polish notation.

Python

See this table and the whole page for details on Python version 3.x An excerpt of which is this table:

Precedence Operator Description

if – else Conditional expression
or Boolean OR
and Boolean AND
not x Boolean NOT
in, not in, is, is not, <, <=, >, >=, !=, == Comparisons, including membership tests and identity tests,
| Bitwise OR
^ Bitwise XOR
& Bitwise AND
<<, >> Shifts
+, - Addition and subtraction
*, /, //, % Multiplication, division, remainder [1]
+x, -x, ~x Positive, negative, bitwise NOT
** Exponentiation [2]
x[index], x[index:index], x(arguments...), x.attribute Subscription, slicing, call, attribute reference
highest (expressions...), [expressions...], {key:datum...}, {expressions...} Binding or tuple display, list display, dictionary display, set display
Footnotes
  1. The % operator is also used for string formatting; the same precedence applies.
  2. The power operator ** binds less tightly than an arithmetic or bitwise unary operator on its right, that is, 2**-1 is 0.5.

Q

Operators have equal precedence and expressions are evaluated from right to left. <lang q>q)3*2+1 9 q)(3*2)+1 / Brackets give the usual order of precedence 7 q)x:5 q)(x+5; x:20; x-5) 25 20 0</lang>

Quackery

Translation of: Factor

Because Quackery uses postfix notation and relies entirely on fixed-argument function composition, all operators have the same precedence. Think of using a calculator that uses reverse-polish notation. Instead of writing (3+5)*2, you'd write 3 5 + 2 *. There is no need for parentheses to clarify the order of operations.

Racket

Racket uses S-expr for its syntax, operators and functions show no precedences as all code is written as: <lang Racket>(function arguments ...)</lang>

function being any function or operator (language or user defined) and arguments are the arguments passed to it.

Raku

(formerly Perl 6) See this table for a list of the precedence levels. Raku is an operator-rich language (and users may define more operators at will), so instead of listing all the operators in the table, representative operators are listed for some of the precedence levels; see later in the same file for a more complete list of predefined operators at each precedence level.

REALbasic

All operators are left-associated except exponentiation and Pair creation which are right-associated. Operators of the same scope and precedence will be evaluated from left-to-right. Precedence can be overridden by using parentheses, such that a + b - c <> a + (b - c).

By default, intrinsic types (Integer, String, Double, etc.) are passed by value and complex types (objects, arrays, etc.) are passed by reference. This can be overridden by using the ByVal or ByRef keyword before the parameter name in the method signature.

Operator(s) Arity Associativity Description
. (dot) 2 Left Scope resolution
AddressOf, WeakAddressOf 1 Left Delegate creation
IsA, Is 2 Left Compare an object reference to a class or interface name; Compare the operands to determine whether they are references to the same object
^ 2 Right Exponentiation
- 1 Left Negation and unary minus
Not 1 Left Logical not
* / \ Mod 2 Left Multiplication; floating-point division; integer division; modulo
+, - 2 Left Addition and string concatenation; subtraction

And 2 Left Logical and bitwise And
Or, Xor 2 Left Logical and bitwise Or; logical and bitwise Exclusive-Or
: (colon) 2 Right Pair (e.g. linked-list) creation

Scala

Operator precedence is well-documented on the official Scala Documentation | Tour of Scala | Operators web page.

Scheme

As with Common Lisp and Racket, Scheme uses s-expressions so there is no need for operator precedence.

e.g. an expression like "3 + 4 x 5" must be entered as either (+ 3 (* 4 5)) or (* (+ 3 4) 5)

Seed7

Seed7 supports user defined operators with priority and associativity. This includes user defined operator symbols. Priority and associativity are defined with the Seed7 Structured Syntax Description (S7SSD) A S7SSD statement like <lang seed7>$ syntax expr: .(). + .() is -> 7;</lang> specifies the syntax of the + operator. The right arrow -> describes the associativity: Binding of operands from left to right. With 7 the priority of the + operator is defined. The syntax pattern <lang seed7>.(). + .()</lang> is introduced and delimited with dots (.). Without dots the pattern is

() + ()

The symbol () is a nonterminal symbol and + is a terminal symbol. The S7SSD does not distinguish between different nonterminal symbols. Instead it only knows one nonterminal symbol: ().

The include file syntax.s7i contains the syntax of the predefined operators. The table below is extracted from syntax.s7i:

Priority infix/prefix Left associative Right associative Not associative
1 infix conv varConv cast value parse
1 prefix { getfunc getobj [
2 infix . [ ^ ->

16 infix val radix RADIX digits sci
17 infix exp lpad rpad lpad0
18 infix <&
20 infix := +:= -:= *:= /:= <<:= >>:= &:= @:=

Sidef

All operators in Sidef have the same precedence, which is controlled by lack of whitespace between the operands.

For example: <lang ruby>1+2 * 3+4 # means: (1+2) * (3+4)</lang>

See also the documentation on the precedence of operators.

Simula

Modern Simula syntax:

Priority Description Operators Associativity

1 power ** left
2 unary operator (opposite) + - left
3 multiplication & division * / // left
4 addition & subtraction + - left
5 comparison = <> < <= > >= left
6 logical NOT NOT left
7 logical AND AND left
8 logical OR OR left
9 equivalence EQUIV left
10 implication IMPL left
lowest

Note: // is the Euclidean division

Smalltalk

Smalltalk does not have operators which are built in to the language.
All operations are message sends to a receiver object (aka virtual function calls).
Messages are one of 3 types:
unary message: no argument, alphanumeric name (highest precedence; left to right evaluation)
binary message: any combination of special characters (left to right evaluation)
keyword message: one or more arguments, alphanumeric name with colons (lowest precedence)

Unary message examples:
negated abs conjugated size isZero
Binary examples:
+ - * % <=> ===> ˜˜ ˜= = , ,, (yes "," (comma) and ",," are possible!)
Keyword examples:
min: max: at: at:put: from:to:do: bitAnd: bitOr:

Within unary and binary messages, evaluation is strictly left to right. Keyword messages must be parenthesized.

No table can be presented here: there are too many such operators, and they can also be freely added by the programmer (i.e. you may define your own "Number fooBar" or "Number +-+-+ arg" messages (if it makes any sense to you).

Math expressions are usually parenthesized for better readability (by beginners): <lang smalltalk>5 + b negated. "same as 5 + (b negated); unary > binary" a abs - b sqrt "same as (a abs) - (b sqrt); unary > binary" a bitAnd:1+a abs. "same as a bitAnd:(1+(a abs)); unary > binary > keyword" (a bitAnd:1+a) bitOr:(b bitAnd:1+2 abs). "ditto"

"Beginners might be confused by:" 5 + a * b "same as (5 + a) * b; all binary; therefore left to right"</lang>

Tcl

Tcl only supports operators within an expression context (such as the expr command, which lists the operators with more detail):

Precedence Operator Description
highest - + ~ ! Unary minus, unary plus, bit-wise NOT, logical NOT.
** Exponentiation. Right-to-left associative.
* / % Multiply, divide, remainder.
+ - Add and subtract.
<< >> Left and right shift.
< > <= >= Boolean less, greater, less than or equal, and greater than or equal.
== != Boolean equal and not equal.
eq ne Boolean string equal and string not equal.
in ni List containment and negated list containment.
& Bit-wise AND.
^ Bit-wise exclusive OR.
| Bit-wise OR. Valid for integer operands only.
&& Logical AND. Evaluates its second operand lazily.
|| Logical OR. Evaluates its second operand lazily.
lowest x ? y : z If-then-else, as in C. Evaluates its second and third operands lazily.

TI-83 BASIC

Priority Description Operators Associativity

1 function √( e^( 10^( sin( ...
2 unary right operator ²  ! left to right
3 exponentiation ^ left to right
4 unary left operator (-) right to left
5 permutation combination nPr nCr left to right
6 arithmetic * / × ÷ left to right
7 arithmetic + - + - left to right
8 relation = ≠ > < ≥ ≤ left to right
9 logical AND and left to right
10 logical OR or xor left to right
11 conversion ►Frac ►Dec ... left to right

note: no operator between 2 symbols means an implied multiplication, so priority 6 and left to right associativity
note: NOT is not an operator, it is a function: not()

Examples:

-2^2=-(2^2)=-4
2^3^2=(2^3)^2=64
4/2π=(4/2)π=2π=6.283185307
-B/2A=-((B/2)*A)=-(B/2)*A
