Do parentheses enforce execution order

@JimWagner

YES
one word answer

I was thinking of proxy posting for you but that doesn’t really help what he’s seeing.

in 2019r3.1 on macOS

Dim sec As Double
Dim n As Integer

sec = 60.35
n = 4

If ( ( sec\N) * N = sec) Then 
  Break
Else
  Break
End If

I end up at the second break point (as I expect)

change sec to 60.00 and I hit the first

But jim would need to look this over to be sure I’ve hit his use case

It’s the same test I did which is why I asked him to repro it as something somewhere is different.

yeah I cant figure they’d screw that up and no one noticed
