operatørprecedens
Operatørprecedens, often translated as operator precedence, is a set of rules that dictate the order in which operations are performed in mathematical expressions. This order ensures that expressions with multiple operators are evaluated consistently and unambiguously. Without operator precedence, an expression like 3 + 4 * 2 could be interpreted in different ways, leading to different results.
The standard order of operations follows a specific hierarchy. Typically, operations within parentheses are evaluated first.
For example, in the expression 5 + 2 * 3, multiplication takes precedence over addition. Therefore, 2 * 3
Understanding operator precedence is fundamental to programming languages, calculators, and any system that interprets mathematical expressions.
