Precedence definition

When several operators are used in an expression, each operator is evaluated in a predetermined order. Operators are evaluated in this order:

• ^ (power)
• - (negate)
• * (multiply), / (divide)
• \ (integer divide)
• Mod (integer remainder)
• + (add), - (difference)
• & (string concatenate)
• = (equal), <> (not equal), < (less than) > (greater than), <= (less than or equal to), >= (greater than or equal to), Like, (string similarity) Is (object equivalence)
• Not (logical bitwise invert)
• And (logical bitwise and)
• Or (logical or bitwise or)
• Xor (logical or bitwise exclusive-or)
• Eqv (logical or bitwise equivalence)
• Imp (logical or bitwise implication)

Operators shown on the same line are evaluated from left to right.
