Precedence and Associativity of Operators in Python

In Python, operators have different levels of precedence, which determine the order in which
they are evaluated. When multiple operators are present in an expression, the ones with higher
precedence are evaluated first. In the case of operators with the same precedence, their
associativity comes into play, determining the order of evaluation.
Operator Precedence and Associativity in Python
Please see the following precedence and associativity table for reference. This table lists all
operators from the highest precedence to the lowest precedence.

Precedence of Python Operators


This is used in an expression with more than one operator with different precedence to
determine which operation to perform first.
