    Operators have an inherent precedence. In the absence of explicit
    grouping (through parentheses), an expression is evaluated in the
    order dictated by this inherent precedence. Operators of the same
    precedence level are evaluated in left-to-right order.

    All function calls in an expression are evaluated before any
    operators.
