Operator Precedence (topic)
The following table shows the precedence of the operators supported by the Basic Control Engine. Operations involving operators of higher precedence occur before operations involving operators of lower precedence. When operators of equal precedence occur together, they are evaluated from left to right.
| Operator | Description | Precedence Order |
| () | Parentheses | Highest |
| ^ | Exponentiation | |
| - | Unary minus | |
| /, * | Division and multiplication | |
| \ | Integer division | |
| Mod | Modulo | |
| +, - | Addition and subtraction | |
| & | String concatenation | |
| =, <>, >, <, <=, >= | Relational | |
| Like, Is | String and object comparison | |
| Not | Logical negation | |
| And | Logical or binary conjunction | |
| Or | Logical or binary disjunction | |
| Xor, Eqv, Imp | Logical or binary operators | Lowest |
The precedence order can be controlled using parentheses, as shown below:
