Kixtart processes math expressions in a strictly left to right progression & at each step it converts the rightmost to variable type of the leftmost but as Jooel says brackets are processed first & inside the brackets the same left to right rules are followed & after the bracket is evaluated it returns to its left to right processing.

PS: I thought kixtart followed the standard rules for conversion from floating point to integer - it truncates.

Sorry I am so slow, but I am at work & distractions keep coming along.
