What is a precedence table ?

A precedence table, also known as an operator precedence table or operator hierarchy, is a chart or list that defines the order of operations for evaluating mathematical expressions. It specifies the priority or precedence of different operators, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, etc. The table helps to determine which operations should be performed first when evaluating an expression with multiple operators. It ensures that mathematical expressions are evaluated correctly and consistently according to the rules of arithmetic.
