Precedence of Operators

• There can be more than one operator in an expression
• To evaluate these types of expressions there is a rule of precedence in python
• It guides the order in which these operations are carried out
• The operator precedence is listed below
• It is in descending order (i.e., from higher priority to lower priority)

Associativity

• When two operators have the same precedence, associativity helps to determine the order of operations
• Associativity is the order in which an expression is evaluated that has multiple operators of the same precedence
• There are two types of associativity
  • Left to right (The operator of same precedence is executed from left to right)
  • Right to left (The operator of same precedence is executed from right to left)
• Almost all operators are left to right associativity
• Exponent operator has right to left associativity in python
