I am creating a "Basic Search" bar that users can type in terms. I am unsure of the order of operations for boolean logic.
If someone types terms(With no quotes):
A and B or C
What is the correct way to treat this?
(A and B) or (C)
OR
(A) and (B or C)
675
The three basic boolean operators are: AND, OR, and NOT.
Boolean Operators are simple words (AND, OR, NOT or AND NOT) used as conjunctions to combine or exclude keywords in a search, resulting in more focused and productive results.
Wikipedia to the rescue, this should help:

From the looks of things, it would appear that AND takes precedence over OR in most languages.
