associativity
noun associativities
- The condition of being associative. The associativity of OR and AND is not at all obvious. It is tempting to assume that because OR and AND are commutative that they must be associative also. This is not the case, however, and some commutative Boolean operators are not associative. Examples include NAND and NOR.
- The property of an operator which determines how it is grouped with operators of the same precedence in the absence of parentheses. The following table groups all of the operators with equal precendence and lists their associativity. The higher in the table, the higher precedence of execution the operator has in an expression.
