New submission from Aidan Feldman :
I am teaching a class on Python for people who are new to coding, and I was
talking them through the operator precedence table:
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#operator-precedence
A couple things that confused the students:
- "Highest precedence" is on the bottom, while "lowest precedence" is on top
- There isn't any mention of variables. While not operators, probably worth
mentioning that they (effectively?) have higher precedence than any of the
operators.
I'd be happy to try making my first contribution to Python if there's interest
in those edits. Also, I have an example breaking down operator precedence in
practice here, which I could include:

Thanks!
