That's why I find it to always be best to explicitly include parentheses to reflect the equation as I want it solved, even if it's "overkill". I don't want to be reliant on an implementation of precedence that may vary from device to device (or even compiler to compiler, for a computer). In any event, I'd rather not think that I know how the machine will interpret it, I'd rather know it will evaluate exactly the way I want it to.
Agreed.
