Thread: Order of operations question

Hey everybody,
Just have a really basic quick question, do mathematical expressions in C or C++ follow the standard algebraic order of operations, or does the compiler process everything linearly as it reads it? For example, would a + b * c be read b times c plus a like it would normally, or a plus b times c like it's written? I'm sure this is really basic stuff, but any help would still be greatly appreciated.

Okay, thanks, that's exactly I needed to know.
