The correct answer to the question “What is the order of precedence in Python” is option (a). i,ii,iii,iv,v,vi. Python also follows the same concept of precedence as used in Math. In Math, it is known as BODMAS, and in Python, you could remember PEMDAS as the order of precedence.

In Python, the correct order of precedence is as follows - 

  • Parentheses have the highest precedence. 

  • Exponentiation is evaluated next. 

  • Multiplication is evaluated after exponentiation, followed by division. 

  • Addition is evaluated after division, followed by subtraction. 

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

How The Order Works:

  • The Parentheses(): whatever has its expression inside parentheses it would be evaluated first.
  • Exponential**: It helps you to find the power of the number. (ex: 2**3 = 2x2x2 = 8)
  • Multiplication*: Used for multiplication, the precedence fallows after exponential
  • Division/:  This operator helps you to divide, the precedence fallows after multiplication. 
  • Subtraction- : This operator helps you to subtract, the precedence fallows after division.
  • Addition+: It is fallowed by subtraction, and it is used for adding.

Example:  (2+3)**2*4/2-1+3

Answer: 

(2+3) = 5 => 5**2*4/2-1+3

5**2 = 25 => 25*4/2-1+3

25*4 =  100 => 100/2-1+3

100/2  = 50 => 50-1+3

50-1 = 49  => 49+3

49+3 = 52

===> (2+3)**2*4/2-1+3 = 52

So Answer is D): i, ii, iii, iv, vi, v.
