If you do not understand this order, your code will produce unexpected results.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n    Here is an in-depth guide to how Python prioritizes operations, ordered from <strong>Highest Priority (evaluated first)<\/strong> to <strong>Lowest Priority (evaluated last)<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"1-parentheses\">1. Parentheses ( )<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Precedence:<\/strong> Highest<\/p>\n<p>\n    Parentheses always override standard precedence rules.
