EOS™ (Equation Operating System) Hierarchy
EOS™ (Equation Operating System) Hierarchy
This section describes the Equation Operating System (EOS™) that is used by the
TI-Nspire™ CAS math and science learning technology. Numbers, variables, and
functions are entered in a simple, straightforward sequence. EOS™ software evaluates
expressions and equations using parenthetical grouping and according to the priorities
described below.
Order of Evaluation
Level
Operator
1
Parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], braces { }
2
Indirection (#)
3
Function calls
4
Post operators: degrees-minutes-seconds (
°
,',"), factorial (!), percentage
(%), radian (
r
), subscript ([ ]), transpose (
T
)
5
Exponentiation, power operator (^)
6
Negation (
⁻
)
7
String concatenation (&)
8
Multiplication (
•
), division (/)
9
Addition (+), subtraction (-)
10
Equality relations: equal (=), not equal (
≠
or /=),
less than (<), less than or equal (
≤
or <=), greater than (>), greater than or
equal (
≥
or >=)
11
Logical
not
12

and
13
Logical
or
14
xor

nor

nand
15
Logical implication (

)
16
Logical double implication, XNOR (
⇔
)
17
Constraint operator (“|”)
18
Store (

)
Parentheses, Brackets, and Braces
All calculations inside a pair of parentheses, brackets, or braces are evaluated first. For
example, in the expression 4(1+2), EOS™ software first evaluates the portion of the
expression inside the parentheses, 1+2, and then multiplies the result, 3, by 4.
