# [[Java Operators Precedence]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
Java's precedence order runs parentheses → multiplicative → additive → comparison → equality → logical AND → logical OR → assignment, and left-to-right evaluation applies when operators share the same precedence tier. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **Precedence order (high → low)** — `()` → `*`/`/`/`%` → `+`/`-` → comparisons (`>`,`<`,`>=`,`<=`) → equality (`==`,`!=`) → `&&` → `||` → `=`. [S1]
- **Parentheses always win** — used to force a specific evaluation order. [S1]
- **Left-to-right for equal precedence** — e.g. subtraction and addition evaluate left to right without parentheses. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- Multiplication before addition: `int result1 = 2 + 3 * 4; // 14` vs. `int result2 = (2 + 3) * 4; // 20`. [S1]
- Left-to-right on equal precedence: `int result1 = 10 - 2 + 5; // (10-2)+5 = 13` vs. `int result2 = 10 - (2 + 5); // 10-7 = 3`. [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
소스에서 모순되는 정보는 발견되지 않음.

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — 복합 표현식의 평가 순서를 예측해야 할 때 항상 참조하는 표다. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Parentheses override default precedence (Java):
```java
int result1 = 2 + 3 * 4;   // 14 (multiplication first)
int result2 = (2 + 3) * 4; // 20 (parentheses force addition first)
```
