Re: [bug-gawk] Order of operations

[Antonio Giovanni Colombo]

Hi James,

you should have a look at the paragraph 5.14 of

the gawk manual (GAWK: Effective AWK Programming

A User’s Guide for GNU Awk, Edition 3, July, 2009):

5.14 Operator Precedence (How Operators Nest)

The "!" ("not") comes before the "in", and sure you can

alter the order with "(" and ")".

The text can be found online e.g. at:

Hope it helps, Antonio

Is there a list of order of operations in Gawk?  The reason I am asking is that I was trying to execute:

if ( !x in y)

and rather than executing:

if ( !( x in y))

it did:

if ( (!x) in y )

I couldn't find any reference to order of operations that included the 'in' operator (if it really is an operator).
