Precedence chart

Each table lists operators with the same precedence, one table for each precedence level. They are ordered from lowest precedence to highest. For descriptions of each operator, see the operator list. There’s also a reasonably human-readable precedence table in operators.py.

Terminology

• Unary operators take one operand, binary operators take two, and ternary operators take three.
• Associativity determines how to parse an expression containing multiple operators with the same precedence. Left-associative operators break the tie in favor of the leftmost subexpression: x-y-z is equivalent to (x-y)-z. Right-associative operators break the tie in favor of the rightmost subexpression: x:y:z is equivalent to x:(y:z).
• Chaining is a third type of associativity, used for comparison operators. For example, x<y=z isn’t equivalent to either (x<y)=z (left-associative) or x<(y=z) (right-associative) but rather to (x<y)&(y=z).
• Fold default is the value returned when folding an empty iterable on this operator. For example, $+[] returns 0, while $*[] returns 1. Unary operators cannot be folded and thus do not have a default value.
• Itemwise indicates whether the operator applies item-by-item to Lists, both Lists and Ranges, or neither.
• In lambda indicates whether the operator can be applied to functions (typically starting from the identity function _) to build bigger functions.
