1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,580 Operator precedence determines the order in which operations are performed in an arithmetic expression 2 00:00:06,780 --> 00:00:08,950 as in traditional school mathematics. 3 00:00:08,970 --> 00:00:13,820 The order of computations follows the following sequence brackets. 4 00:00:14,010 --> 00:00:21,470 Exponents division multiplication addition and subtraction. 5 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:28,110 To illustrate this example let's take a look at a basic equation. 6 00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:38,110 Here we have 50 plus 200 in brackets multiplied by three in this equation. 7 00:00:38,190 --> 00:00:41,640 Fifty would be added to two hundred first. 8 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:47,540 The result would then be multiplied by three. 9 00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:49,980 We'll go ahead and test this in our web browser 10 00:00:52,770 --> 00:00:54,510 and we can see we get the correct result. 11 00:00:54,510 --> 00:00:55,710 Seven hundred and fifty.
