The Assembler supports a number of operators, which are described here. The higher the precedence, the higher the priority. Expressions may be enclosed in parentheses, and such expressions are always evaluated before combined with anything outside the parentheses. The associativity of binary operators indicates the evaluation order of chained operators, left associativity meaning they are evaluated left to right, i.e., 2 - 3 - 4 is (2 - 3) - 4, while right associativity would mean 2-3-4 is 2 - (3 - 4). Some operators are not associative, meaning chaining has no meaning.
The following operators are defined:
