precedence lossage precedence lossage/pre's*-dens los'*j/ A misunderstanding of operator precedence resulting in unintended grouping of arithmetic orlogical operators when coding an expression. Usedespecially of mistakes in C code due to the nonintuitivelylow precedence of "&", "|", "^", "<>". For example,the following C expression, intended to test the leastsignificant bit of x,
x & 1 == 0
is parsed as
x & (1 == 0)
which is always zero (false).
Some lazy programmers ignore precedence and parenthesiseeverything. Lisp fans enjoy pointing out that this can'thappen in *their* favourite language, which eschews precedenceentirely, requiring one to use explicit parentheseseverywhere. |
