Nested Operators and precedence order

Nested operators are acted on in a fixed precedence order and are also operated on in an order relative to mathematical operators.  The default precedence order in the absence of parentheses is shown below in decreasing order.

Operation                         Operator                                     Precedence

 lt , le ,eq, ne , ge, gt

When operators with the same precedence appear in an expression or logical condition they are performed from left to right.
