Operator Precedence

  • Operator precedence in Python determines the order in which operators are evaluated in expressions.
  • It helps define the grouping of operations and ensures that expressions are evaluated correctly.
  • Operators with higher precedence are evaluated before operators with lower precedence.

EXAMPLES

Associativity of Python Operators

  • When two operators have the same precedence, associativity comes into rescue and helps to determine the order of operations.

  • Associativity is a concept used to describe the order in which operators of the same precedence are evaluated when they appear consecutively in an expression.

Boolean

  • Boolean type represents either True or False.

Left Associative Operators

  • Most of the operators in Python are left-associative.
  • They are evaluated from left to right when they appear consecutively in an expression.

Right Associative Operators

  • Right-associative operators are evaluated from right to left when they appear consecutively in an expression.
  • Exponent operator (**) has right-to-left associativity in Python.
  • Let us consider an example.

Non - associative operators

  • Operators like assignment operators and comparison operators do not have associativity in Python.
