# Arithmetic expressions

Arithmetic expressions perform mathematical calculations
on any set of operand expressions.

| Symbol | Precedence | Operation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ^ | 1 | exponentiation |
| * | 2 | multiplication |
| / | 2 | division |
| \ | 2 | remainder |
| + | 3 | addition |
| - | 3 | subtraction |
Expressions are evaluated in order of precedence unless
placed within parentheses.

Expressions with the same precedence
evaluate left-to-right:

`10+2*10` evaluates to
30.

Expressions within the innermost parentheses are evaluated
first:

`(10+2)*10` evaluates to 120.

`(10+(2*10))` evaluates to 30.
