PRECEDENCE OF OPERATORS

Operator precedence determines the order in which operations are performed. Operators
with higher precedence are evaluated first. When operators have the same precedence, Python
evaluates them from left to right (associativity). The following table shows the operator precedence,
starting with the highest precedence at the top:

Operator Name
() Parentheses
** Exponentiation

*, /, //, % Multiplication, Division, Floor Division, Modulus
+, – Addition, Subtraction
<, <=, >, >=, !=, == Relational operators

not
and Logical operators
or

=, %=, /=, //=, -=, +=, *=, **= Assignment operators

RAPID RECALL Tick ( ) if you know this.

1. A single-line comment begins with the hash symbol (#).

2. Keywords are reserved, so you cannot use them as variable names or identifiers.
