- pair: built-in; types
- pair: built-in; exceptions
- pair: built-in; functions
- pair: built-in; constants
- single: symbol table
- Names for built-in exceptions and functions and a number of constants are found
- in a separate symbol table. This table is searched last when the interpreter
- looks up the meaning of a name, so local and global user-defined names can
- override built-in names. Built-in types are described together here for easy
- reference.
- The tables in this chapter document the priorities of operators by listing them
- in order of ascending priority (within a table) and grouping operators that have
- the same priority in the same box. Binary operators of the same priority group
- from left to right. (Unary operators group from right to left, but there you
- have no real choice.) See :ref:`operator-summary` for the complete picture on
- operator priorities.
