| Description: |
Without parentheses, it is easy to make mistakes when relying on precedence rules. Comparison and unary operators are excluded from this rule. Example: if ( a || b && c || d ) // wrong: incorrect reliance on precedence if ((a || (b && c) || d) // right: parentheses for correct evaluation |
