Others already gave good answers but I want to point out just one thing:
the precedence rule is purely syntactical (i.e. computer decides it from
only the text).  What those methods actually do is irrelevant.

For example, you can define a method called **, such as:

--------------
** aNumber
   ^ self raisedTo: aNumber.
-------------
and then, you can write:

2 ** 3 + 1

to get 9.
