Operator Precedence

The document explains operator precedence and associativity in Python, detailing how operators are evaluated in expressions. It highlights that most operators have left-to-right associativity, while the exponentiation operator (**) and logical not have right-to-left associativity. Several examples and CBSE 12th Board questions are provided to illustrate these concepts.

OPERATOR PRECEDENCE:

In Python, operator precedence determines the order in which operators are evaluated
in an expression. Operators with higher precedence are evaluated before operators
with lower precedence.

Associativity:
Associativity determines the order of evaluation when two operators of the same
precedence appear in an expression. Operators can have left-to-right or right-to-left
associativity.

All operators in the above given table except **, logical not have left to right
associativity.
** and logical not has right to left associativity
Example: left to right
print(10 / 5 * 2)
/ and * have the same precedence.
Since they follow left-to-right associativity:

 10 / 5 → 2.0 #10/5 will be evaluated first


 2.0 * 2 → 4.0

Output: 4.0

Example: right to left


print(2 ** 3 ** 2)
** follows right-to-left associativity.
So, it is evaluated as:

 3 ** 2 → 9
 2 ** 9 → 512

Output: 512
CBSE 12th Board questions:

4. print(25 // 4 + 3**1**2 * 2)
Ans : 12
5. print(2**3 + (5 + 6)**(1 + 1))

6. print(16-(3+2)*5+2**3*4)
Ans: 23
7. 8 and 13 > 10
Ans : True
8. 7%5==2 and 4%2>0 or 15//2==7.5
Ans: False
