In a programming language, the precedence of an operator determines in what order it will be evaluated An operator with a higher precedence will be evaluated before another with a lower precedence For instance multiplication has a higher precedence than addition
Order of operation: parenthesis have the highest precedence and assignment has the lowest precedence Precedence Table
When multiple formulas defined in different dimensions intersect at a cell, the precedence of each formula determines the order in which it is calculated, or in the case where only one formula is actually applied to the cell, which formula is applied

Operator precedence determines how expressions are parsed and understood When an expression containing binary operators is evaluated, operators of the highest precedence bind the strongest to their parameters For example, * has higher precedence than + If you evaluate expression 3+4*5, the * is done first, since it has higher precedence than + So the first thing that is computed is 4*5, yielding 20 Next, expession 3+20 is evaluated, yielding 23 See associativity of operators and E7
