What is priority order of multiply, divide, modulo and floor division (*, /, %, //) in python?

And hence what should be the output of 3*7//5*10%4 ?

*, /, //, and % have the same operation precedence. 3*7 is executed first, because it appears to be there first. Then 21//5 Then 4*10 Then 40%4

*,/,%,// Have the same precedence..... These operators on occurrence on a same line the associativity is from left to right....

BODMAS (like in traditional arithmetic) in all languages 🤔

S S Skynet But the link u provided doesn't have // and puts *, /, % in the same row and doesn't tell which has more priority​

just a note on the side here: you should definitely know operator precedence and use it. but if you want your code to be pythonic, try to make it readable as a first priority. my personal preference is to be concise and also that the code is easily understood. if i make a shorter statement that relies heavily on operator precedence, it is likely that it won’t be as readable at least in some cases. so i always prefer to be a bit more explicit with parethesis.
