Study Notes

Operator Precedence in Python

In Python, the order of evaluation for mathematical operators follows the PEMDAS rule.
PEMDAS stands for "Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction".

Highest Precedence Operator

The parentheses operator has the highest precedence in Python.

Evaluating Expressions

The expression 2 * (3-1) evaluates to 4, because the parentheses are evaluated first, giving 2 * 2.
The expression (1+1)(5-2) evaluates to 4, because the parentheses are evaluated first, giving 23.
