Precedence is used to determine what are an operator's operands. Example, prefix unary operator, !: ! TERM1 OP1 TERM2 OP2 TERM3 Is the operand TERM1? Is the operand TERM1 OP1 TERM2? Is the operand TERM1 OP1 TERM2 OP2 TERM3? Example, infix binary operator, +: TERM1 OP1 TERM2 + TERM3 OP2 TERM4 Is the LHS operand TERM2? Is the LHS operand TERM1 OP1 TERM2? Is the RHS operand TERM3? Is the RHS operand TERM3 OP2 TERM4? That passage from perlop is odd. Terms have no operands, so it doesn't make sense to talk of their precedence. Whether they have high or low precedence doesn't change a thing. - Eric BrineThread Previous | Thread Next
