Just as knowing how to read algebraic equations implies knowing the rules of precedence for mathematical operations (i.e. there is nothing ambigous about "y = 2x^2 + 3", we know that the exponent comes first, then the multiplication, and then the addition), knowing how to read/write C (or C++ or Java, etc.) implies knowing the rules of precedence for it's operations.

But this is much clearer:

y = (2x^2) + 3

Easy to read. Easy to understand. Don't need to memorize or refer to a chart with 25 items in it.
