Expressions in programming languages follow rules of precedence and associativity that determine the order of evaluation. Precedence refers to the priority of different operators, with those higher in precedence being evaluated first. Associativity determines whether operations are grouped from left to right or right to left when operators of the same precedence are used. Understanding precedence and associativity helps programmers write clear and predictable code.
