| 5 | Names for built-in exceptions and functions are found in a separate |
| 6 | symbol table. This table is searched last, so local and global |
| Guido van Rossum | ecde781 | 1995-03-28 13:35:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 7 | user-defined names can override built-in names. Built-in types are |
| 8 | described together here for easy reference. % |

| 18 | The tables in this chapter document the priorities of operators by |
| 19 | listing them in order of ascending priority (within a table) and |
| 20 | grouping operators that have the same priority in the same box. |
| 21 | Binary operators of the same priority group from left to right. |
| 22 | (Unary operators group from right to left, but there you have no real |
| 23 | choice.) See Chapter 5 of the Python Reference Manual for the |
| 24 | complete picture on operator priorities. |
