- Operator Precedence in ColdFusion

Wednesday, 5th March 2008
In arithmetic and algebra, when a number or expression is both preceded and followed by a binary operation (a calculation involving two operands), a rule is required for which operation should be applied first. From the earliest use of mathematical notation, multiplication took precedence over addition, whichever side of a number it appeared on. Thus 3 + 4 — 5 = 5 — 4 + 3 = 23.
