precedence
Operator precedence (or, "order of operations") comes up in mathematics and computer programming and dictates which operations should be carried out first in evaluating a mathematical expression. The standard precedence used in math, science, and technology is: exponents and roots multiplication and division addition and subtraction Parentheses are also used for clarification or when the above precedence needs to be over-ridden. For example, with an expression line 3 + 2 * 4, you would start with the multiplication of 2 * 4, because multiplication has precedence over addition.
The correct order of mathematical operators, often referred to as the order of operations, is typically remembered using the acronym PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). This means that calculations inside parentheses are performed first, followed by exponents, then multiplication and division, and finally addition and subtraction. Following this order ensures accurate results in mathematical expressions.
Yes, a collection of numbers, variables, and mathematical operators can be considered a mathematical expression or equation. In this context, numbers represent constants, variables symbolize unknown values that can change, and operators (such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) indicate the relationships or operations performed among the numbers and variables. Together, they form the basis for mathematical reasoning and problem-solving.
It is simply a collection of numbers and mathematical operations - until you add some further constraints or qualifications.
Order of precedence is the priority of various operators in an expression, not overridden by parentheses.
The order of precedence is as follows:Parenthesis (expressions within brackets)Exponents (powers)Division & multiplicationAddition & subtractionOperations with equal precedence are calculated in left-to-right order.
Precedence of operators in an expression overridden by the use of parentheses
Mathematical operators have the standard precedence: parenthesis (brackets), orders (powers), multiplication/division, addition/subtraction. x + y * z implies x + (y * z) because multiplication has higher precedence than addition. When two operators have the same precedence (such as addition and subtraction), they are evaluated left to right. Thus x - y + z implies (x - y) + z.

Arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, % ) have greater precedence over relational operators (<, >, <=, >=, ==, !=) in C language.
In all popular high-level programming languages, the order in which operators are interpreted ("operator precedence") is vital to ensuring that all compilers execute instructions in precisely the same manner, as the "order of operations" rule is vital in mathematics. In the case of C and C++, arithmetic operators are executed prior to logic operators. For a detailed description of operator precedence, see the related links below.
Precedence rules specify priority of operators (which operators will be evaluated first, e.g. multiplication has higher precedence than addition, PEMDAS).The associativity rules tell how the operators of same precedence are grouped. Arithmetic operators are left-associative, but the assignment is right associative (e.g. a = b = c will be evaluated as b = c, a = b).
Multiplication, division and modulo all have equal precedence.
According to the order of precedence which of calculation is processed before reference operators
the order of precedence This answer is incorrect and I was graded as being wrong on an Excel exam for not defining it as Order of Operations. Though technically that is what order of operations is and a set of Excel online Flashcards had the same answer being Order of Precedence. Precedence Order is more commanly called Order of Operations, I do believe
