You can also rely on relational operators (<, <=, ==, >=', >') having precedence over logical operators (&&, ||.)

@Neil - when talking to IT folks, it is best to stick to conventional IT / typographic terminology. '()' are parentheses (or round brackets), '[]' are brackets (or square brackets) and '{}' are braces (or curly brackets).

In the context of operator precedence, "brackets" can really only mean "round brackets".
