Operator precedence¶
The operator precedence and expression ordering is as follows, going from strong to weak. Binary operators at the same precedence level are grouped in the order given by their associativity.
| Expression type | Associativity |
|---|---|
| Name | |
Unary +, -, &, * |
|
as |
|
*, /, % |
Left |
+, - |
Left |
>>, >>>, << |
Left |
& |
Left |
^ |
Left |

Left |
>, <, >=, <= |
Left |
==, != |
Left |
&& |
Left |
|| |
Left |
.. |
Not allowed together1 |
..= |
Not allowed together1 |
=, +=, -=,*=, /=, %=,>>=, >>>=, <<=,&=, ^=, |= |
Right |
Comparison and equality operator chaining¶
For example, we need to check if the value of x is greater than 10 and below 20.
These are two conditions; in most languages this would be 10 < x && x < 20.
However, in Nite, groups of comparison or equality operators can be chained.
