It follows the laws of mathematics which determines the precedence of the operators. Operations inside brackets are done first. Power of or exponentiation has the highest precedence, with multiplication and division having equal precedence and finally addition and subtraction having equal precedence. The acronyms BODMAS, BOMDAS and PEDMAS are sometimes used to represent the order of these precedents when they are being taught in schools.
