Semantics

multiplicative-expression
  1. The left and right operands are evaluated, in either order.
  2. The values of the left and right operands are coerced to the same computational type, if necessary..
  3. The operator is applied to the (coerced) operand values;
  4. The result of the operation is the value of the expression.
