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.
It is simply a collection of numbers and mathematical operations - until you add some further constraints or qualifications.
