what is th eorder of presedents?
is 2 + 3 * 5 = 32 or 17
Per, you are now in Violation of Section 4.5.2A. Expect the Code-Monkey Police to have you and your code impounded. </sarcasm>
"Never-Ever think that too many parentheses can be 'too many' within source code."
Andy, good one.

I once worked with a certain other well-known high-dollar commercial compiler where using too many parentheses actually caused it to generate incorrect code!
I think a far better rule is:
if you feel the need to add parentheses, then the expression is too complicated - break it down into separate steps
It is highly unlikely that this will have any negative impact on the code generated by a good, modern optimising compiler...
Andy,
I agree. Break it down into smaller statements!
* 918518FD-2C28-4BC6-AF11-83689E384065 thinks that 2 + 3 * 5 is broken down into a nice easyexpression not needing further subdivision, even if we still haven't figured out the OP:s suggested order of evaluation ;)
What is a presedent?
Is Obama the last in the list?
Indeed.
But, if it were more complex, and you were contemplating adding parentheses, then I'd recommend that you break it down instead.
I'm still trying to figure out how to get 32 out of that.
I searched some of my code for "32" an found many of them... along with "lots of parentheses" too!
