In the table above, some Operators are listed more than once. For instance, closing parentheses - ) - are listed as both prefix and postfix, at the same level of precedence. This is because they can be used in both of those positions. Other Operators are listed at different levels - for instance the plus symbol - + - is listed as a high-precedence prefix operator and a lower-precedence infix operator. This is because the infix version performs numeric addition, and the prefix version is used for type-casting.
