What is precedent?

Answer 1

Operator precedence (or, "order of operations") comes up in mathematics and computer programming and dictates which operations should be carried out first in evaluating a mathematical expression.

The standard precedence used in math, science, and technology is:

exponents and roots

multiplication and division

addition and subtraction

Parentheses are also used for clarification or when the above precedence needs to be over-ridden.

For example, with an expression line 3 + 2 * 4, you would start with the multiplication of 2 * 4, because multiplication has precedence over addition.

Answer 2

an example for others to follow in the future

Answer 3

Precedent is a legal term meaning there was a decision made about the same topic before. For example, the Supreme Court's decisions have precedent over all the courts lower than it. If the lower courts come across a topic that the Supreme Court has already decided on, the lower courts have to rule in the same way the Supreme Court did. In common law legal systems, a precedentor authority is a legal case establishing a principle or rule that a court or other judicial body adopts when deciding subsequent cases with similar issues or facts.n common law legal systems, a precedent or authority is a legal case establishing a principle or rule that a court or other judicial body adopts when deciding subsequent cases with similar issues or facts.
A precedent is a legal case that is the standard for judging other cases like it. In the case of Miranda v. Arizona, the supreme court set the precedent that all people who are arrested must be read their legal rights (You have the right to remain silent, anything you say or do can and will be used against you in the court of law, you have the right to an attorney...) In deciding that, the court set the precedent (standard) for all future cases when people are arrested
