- 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.
