In an arithmetic operation, while execution of two or more operators , we some time have some problem as to how does it get executed. Lets take an example to understand the thing more properly, we consider an arithmetic expression:
5*m – 7*n
Now sometimes we face problem regarding the execution of the expression, does it corresponds to (5m)-(7n) or 5(m-7n) ? Thus to solve this kind of problems we have to understand the Hierarchy of operations. The priority or the precedence in which the operations in an arithmetic expression are performed is called the hierarchy of operation.
The hierarchy of commonly used operators is shown in the table below:
5*m – 7*n
Now sometimes we face problem regarding the execution of the expression, does it corresponds to (5m)-(7n) or 5(m-7n) ? Thus to solve this kind of problems we have to understand the Hierarchy of operations. The priority or the precedence in which the operations in an arithmetic expression are performed is called the hierarchy of operation.
The hierarchy of commonly used operators is shown in the table below:
| Priority | Operators | Description |
| First | * / % | Multiplication, Division, Modular Division |
| Second | + - | Addition, Subtraction |
| Third | = | Assignment |
