Alex is developing a mathematical expression evaluator and wants to handle both unary and binary minus operators. Which consideration related to operator precedence should he keep in mind?
- Binary operators have higher precedence than unary operators
- Both unary and binary operators have the same precedence
- Precedence is not relevant for handling operators
- Unary operators have higher precedence than binary operators
Alex should remember that unary operators, like the unary minus (-), typically have higher precedence than binary operators. This means that expressions like "-3 * 2" should be evaluated as "(-3) * 2" rather than "-(3 * 2)."
