The Syntax of Equations
Equations follow certain conventions that determine how they're evaluated:
How operators interact.
What functions are valid in equations.
How equations are checked for syntax errors.
Operator Precedence
Operators in an equation are processed in a certain order that makes the
evaluation logical and predictable:
