Precedence

Operator precedence in Lua follows the table below, from lower to higher priority.

or							
and
>	<=	>=	~=	==	<>	!=
<							
..	||						
+	-
*	/	%
not	#	-
^

As usual, you can use parentheses to change the precedence of an expression. The concatenation (.. and ||) and exponentiation (^) operators are right associative. All other binary operators are left associative.
