Arithmetic expressions

Arithmetic expressions in any language comprise operands and operators. For reference, x and y are used as operands having values 10 and 20, respectively. The following table shows the precedence order:

In an arithmetic expression, generally, the rule of Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction (BODMAS) is followed, and operators have their own precedence order. Exponentiation enjoys a higher precedence order, while addition and subtraction have a lower precedence order.

The decreasing precedence order is as follows:

• Exponent
• Unary negation
• Multiplication, division, modulus
• Addition, subtraction

If operands are of the same data type, then the resulting value is also of that type. However, addition of two int data types can produce a long integer.
