In the previous article, "From Basic to Intermediate: Operator Precedence", we talked a little about the precautions we should take when using factorization in our codes. It's not uncommon to come across code that appears correct at first glance but ends up producing completely unexpected results in certain situations. This type of issue is often directly related to how the factorizations are implemented. Getting a piece of code to deliver consistent results may seem like a trivial task. ...
