Hi all!

I enqunterd something that I can't understand.

I have this code:

cout << "f1 * f1 + f2 * f1 - f1 / f2 is: "<< f1 * f1 + f2 * f1 - f1 / f2 << endl;

All the "f"s are objects, and all the operators are overloaded.

The weird this is that the first computarion is of the "/" operator, then the second "" and then the first "", after that - the operator "+" and at last - operator "-".

So basicly - the "/" and "*" worked from right to left, and the "+" and "-" operators worked from left to right.

I made another test... I checked this code:

 cout << "f1 * f1 / f2 is: " << f1 * f1 / f2 << endl;

Now, the first operator was "*" and only then oerator "/". So now, it worked from left to right.

Can someone help me underatand why is there diffrence in the directions?

10X!
