The precedence of operators is as follows, from highest to lowest. Operators on the same line all have the same precedence.

**	exponentiation
+, -, !, ~, ++, and ––	unary plus, unary negation, logical not, bit complement, pre- and post-increment, pre- and post-decrement ++ and –– are not available in Expression Nodes.
*, /, %	multiplication, division, modulus (remainder)
+ and –	addition and subtraction
>> and <<	arithmetic shift right and shift left
>, <, >=, and <=	greater, less, greater or equal, and less or equal
!= and ==	inequality and equality
&	bit and
^	bit exclusive or
|	bit or
&&	logical and
||	logical or
? :	conditional evaluation
= op=	assignment, shortcut operate and assign op can be +, –, *, /, >>, <<, &, ^, |, %, or **. = op= is not available in Expression Nodes.

, x**y.

The assignment operator = is right associative (groups right to left), as is the exponentiation operator **. All other binary operators are left associative.

The numeric value of TRUE is 1, and FALSE is 0 for output. The logical value of 0 is FALSE, and any nonzero number is TRUE. The logical value of the conditional expression

<lexpr> ? <texpr>: <fexpr>

is <texpr> if the logical value of <lexpr> is TRUE and <fexpr> otherwise.
