The act or state of preceding or going before in order of time; priority; as, one event has precedence of another.
The established system of priorities of trades in an exchange. For example, the highest bid and lowest offer have highest precedence; the first bid or first offer at a price has highest priority, and large orders have priority over smaller orders.
The order of preference among established names, used to select the accepted name from among them. In general, precedence is based on the date of establishment, with earlier-established names having precedence over later ones, but later-established names may be conserved over earlier ones.
G2's rules that determine the order in which it searches among conflicting configurations that pertain to the same item.
Precedence is a property of the syntax of an operator that specifies how it is parsed. Only operators, i.e. functions with special syntax, can have precedence. Precedence values are nonnegative integers: 0, 1, ... Lower numbers bind more tightly. For example, the operator "+" binds less tightly (i.e. has a higher precedence value) than the operator "*" and so the expression a+b*c is parsed as a+(b*c), as one would expect. Infix operators can have different left-side and right-side precedence. For example, the infix operator "-" has left precedence 70 and right precedence 40 -- this allows us to parse expressions such as a-b+c correctly, as a-b+c, and not as a-(b+c). See also: Bodied , OpPrecedence , OpLeftPrecedence , OpRightPrecedence .
the order in which unlike binary operators in an unparenthesized expression are evaluated. The operator with the highest precedence is evaluated first.
If an execution of an order cannot be awarded to a broker on the basis of priority or parity, then precedence (the order filling the largest part of the contra order) assumes that right before any others.
priority; the right to superior honor on a ceremonial or formal occasion; for ambassadors in a country, precedence is determined by the order in which they presented their credentials to the host government
status established in order of importance or urgency; "...its precedence as the world's leading manufacturer of pharmaceuticals"; "national independence takes priority over class struggle"
The order in which a group of medals should be mounted on a medal bar with the highest precedence medals on the left and the lowest on the right (see also Order of Wear)
A property of operators which affects the order of evaluation of different operators in an expression. affects the order of evaluation of different operators in an expression.
The priority of an operator. Operator precedence is used to interpret a+b*c as +(a, *(b,c)).
dictates the order of evaluation of operands in an expression. For example: If you have 4 + 3 * 2 you get 10 as the result, since the multiplication has more precedence than the addition. If you want to evaluate the addition first, then you have to add parenthesis like this: (4 + 3) * 2. When you do this, you'll get 14 as the result since the parenthesis have more precedence than the addition and the multiplication, so the operations in parenthesis get evaluated first.
The relative position of an operator in the hierarchy that determines the order in which expression elements are evaluated.
The order in which arithmetic operations are performed.
(of operators) The order in which operators are dealt with during the evaluation of an expression.
The priority system for grouping different types of operators with their operands.
Every Perl operator and function has an associated priority. This priority or precedence level tells Perl which operators should be evaluated first. Chapter 4 "Operators," lists all of the operators and their priorities.
n. The ``strength'' of an operator, indicating how tightly it binds to its operands during parsing, especially as compared to other nearby operators. Along with associativity and explicit parentheses, precedence determines how an expression is parsed: which operators are applied to which operands and which subexpressions are the operands of which operators. Precedence does not necessarily say anything about order of evaluation (q.v.); see question 3.4.
Rules that determine the required order of operations.
The order in which operations are performed when operators are used without explicit parentheses.
A number associated with each Prolog operator, which is used to disambiguate the structure of the term represented by an expression containing a number of operators. Operators of lower precedence are applied before those of higher precedence; the operator with the highest precedence is considered the principal functor of the expression. To disambiguate operators of the same precedence, the associativity type is also necessary. See Operators.
