operator precedence error

subject fact

operator precedence error has definition A defect in which a programmer omits needed parentheses, or puts parentheses in the wrong place 2001-08-30 14:56:53.0
has testing strategy
run tests that anticipate possible errors
use code inspections
is a subtopic of 10.3 - Defects in Ordinary Algorithms
is a kind of defect in an ordinary algorithm
may be obvious
may be hidden until special conditions arise

defect has example the absence of code to handle an exception 2001-08-30 14:55:12.0

problem has solution which will normally entail developing software, although you may decide that it is better to purchase software or to develop a non-software solution 2001-08-30 14:57:03.0
should be written as a simple problem statement in one or two sentences
