Python Operator Precedence

Operator precedence describes the order in which operations are performed.

Parentheses has the highest precedence, meaning that expressions inside parentheses must be evaluated first:

• has higher precedence than addition +, and therefore multiplications are evaluated before additions:

The precedence order is described in the table below, starting with the highest precedence at the top:

()

Try it » **

Try it » +x -x ~x Unary plus, unary minus, and bitwise NOT Try it » * / // % Multiplication, division, floor division, and modulus Try it » +

Try it » << >>

Try it » &

Try it » ^

Try it » |

Try it » == != > >= < <= is is not in not in Comparisons, identity, and membership operators Try it » not

Try it » and

Try it » or OR Try it »

If two operators have the same precedence, the expression is evaluated from left to right.

+ and subtraction

has the same precedence, and therefore we evaluate the expression from left to right:
