2.1 Arithmetical binary operator precedence

What is 3^2*4 + 2%5 (here % means ``mod'')? The value (38) is determined by the ``operator precedence table''. The table below is based on the table in §5.14 of the Python Language Reference Manual by G. Rossum and F. Drake.

operator	description
`or`	boolean or
`and`	boolean and
`not`	boolean not
`in`, `not in`	membership
`is`, `is not`	identity test
`<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`, `==`, `!=`, `<>`	comparison
`+`, `-`	addition, subtraction
`*`, `/`, `%`	multiplication, division, remainder
`**`, `^`	exponentiation

Therefore, to compute 3^2*4 + 2%5, Sage brackets the computation this way: ((3^2)*4) + (2%5). First compute 3^2, which is , then compute both (3^2)*4 and 2%5, and finally adds these.
