+  - [15.8](#comparison--no-mixed-operators) When mixing operators, enclose them in parentheses. The only exception is the standard arithmetic operators: `+`, `-`, and `**` since their precedence is broadly understood. We recommend enclosing `/` and `*` in parentheses because their precedence can be ambiguous when they are mixed.
