dividing numbers

hey, in python shell, i tried to calculate the outcome of this: 6+4/2, and the answer was 8 and 4+6/2 and the answer was 7, now what is the difference between these two?

You can see this in that way how its calculated, according to the operator precedence. See python docs 3.7, 6.16 'operator precedence': 6 + (4 / 2) -> 6 + 2 -> 8 4 + (6 / 2) -> 4 + 3 -> 7
