The precedence of an operator specifies how "tightly" it binds two
expressions together. For example, in the expression 1 +
5 * 3, the answer is 16 and not 18 because the
multiplication ("*") operator has a higher precedence than the
addition ("+") operator.
The following table lists the precedence of operators with the
lowest-precedence operators listed first.
