-The following table summarize the operators and their associativity from the highest to the lowest precedence.
-It can be useful to understand the actual behavior of an expression.

-To avoid ambiguities it is a good practice to add parentheses.

+Operator precedence determines the order in which operations are processed in an
+expression. For example, the result of the expression ``1 + 2 * 4`` is ``9``
+and not ``12`` because the multiplication operator (``*``) takes precedence over
+the addition operator (``+``).
+
+To avoid ambiguities (or to alter the default order of operations) add
+parentheses in your expressions (e.g. ``(1 + 2) * 4`` or ``1 + (2 * 4)``.

+The following table summarizes the operators and their associativity from the
