 When no parentheses are present, arithmetic expressions are evaluated from left to right, with multiplication and division having a higher priority than addition and subtraction.

-The arithmetic operators, ''+'', ''-'', ''*'', and ''/'', work in the expected fashion, however, the result of arithmetic on type BYTE, WORD or INT cannot have a fractional result. Therefore ''5 / 2'' evaluates as 2, not 2.5. However, ''5.0 / 2.0'' evaluates as 2.5, because the presence of the decimal point tells the compiler that the numbers are of type FLOAT.
