00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:09,260
Let's talk about a important term when it comes to programming, and that is Operator Precedent's.

2
00:00:11,490 --> 00:00:12,550
Now, what does that mean?

3
00:00:13,110 --> 00:00:24,690
Again, we're using our knowledge from math class, it's the idea that if I do 20 plus three times four,

4
00:00:25,530 --> 00:00:29,590
it means that different operators have precedence over different ones.

5
00:00:30,570 --> 00:00:37,650
That is, we multiply this first equals to 12 and then 20 gets added to 12.

6
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,840
Because the Python interpreter is going to follow a basic set of rules.

7
00:00:44,970 --> 00:00:48,180
For example, if I do 20 minus three here.

8
00:00:49,740 --> 00:00:51,380
And let's print this out.

9
00:00:56,390 --> 00:01:05,060
I get it because three times four gets evaluated first, which he goes to 12 and then subtracted from

10
00:01:05,060 --> 00:01:05,490
20.

11
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:11,150
It's not that this goes first and then we multiply 17 by four.

12
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,820
And this operator precedence shouldn't be new, right, if you've taken any sort of math class, you

13
00:01:17,820 --> 00:01:24,480
understand that this is how well math works and this works the same in all programming languages.

14
00:01:24,730 --> 00:01:26,880
So the order is this.

15
00:01:27,660 --> 00:01:29,870
First we follow the brackets.

16
00:01:30,180 --> 00:01:32,860
So whatever is wrapped in a bracket, we do first.

17
00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:43,200
The second is we do the power of so whatever is done in the power of will be after parentheses.

18
00:01:43,530 --> 00:01:47,310
For example, if I do parentheses here.

19
00:01:48,970 --> 00:01:56,720
And then to the power of, let's say two or let's do plus two to the power of two.

20
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:05,500
Well, the first operation that will happen is twenty minus three because that's the first precedence.

21
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,450
And then we do two to the power of two because that's the next president's.

22
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,090
And then only after we do that, we add these two together, in fact, click run.

23
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,930
I get twenty one, which again, makes sense, 17 plus for.

24
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:32,460
After the power of we have the multiplication and division.

25
00:02:33,590 --> 00:02:38,750
And then finally, the last precedence is addition and subtraction.

26
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,470
Now, this isn't going to be a math class, some people really love math.

27
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:46,150
Some people really don't.

28
00:02:46,690 --> 00:02:52,420
But I want to just give you this basic understanding of operator precedence when you see it.

29
00:02:52,570 --> 00:02:55,350
We'll do some exercises here to get accustomed to it.

30
00:02:55,450 --> 00:02:59,260
But trust me, this is as Mathie as we're going to get in this course.

31
00:02:59,830 --> 00:03:06,010
The math part of the course is, well, just here, it's going to get a lot more interesting as we learn

32
00:03:06,010 --> 00:03:07,330
about different data types.

33
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:08,890
I'll see you in the next one.

34
00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:09,700
Bye.
