Precedence rules are the same as most other languages, but instead of `^`, `&`, `|`, `>>`, `<<`, the `xor`, `and`, `or`, `shr`, `shl` operators are used, respectively. Precedence rules are the same as most other languages, but instead of `^`, `&`, `|`, `>>`, `<<`, the `xor`, `and`, `or`, `shr`, `shl` operators are used, respectively.
Another difference that may be surprising is that the `/` operator returns a floating point result, even when the operands are integers. This means that `3/2` will return something like `0.33`. If integer division is needed, the `div` operator should be used. ``` nimrod
let
a: int = 2
b: int = 4
echo 4/2
```
``` console
$ nimrod c -r numbers2.nim
2.0
```
