[Rd] Bug Report: Incorrect precedence between / and %/% in R 4.4.1

[Lionel Fotie]

Dear R Development Team,

I have encountered an unexpected behavior in R 4.4.1 regarding the precedence of / and %/%.

Steps to reproduce:
print(2 * 10 / 2 %/% 50)

Expected result:
Since *, / and %/% have the same precedence, evaluation should be left-to-right:
(2 * 10) / 2 %/% 50  # Expected: 0

Actual result:
[1] Inf

Workaround:
Adding explicit parentheses fixes the issue:
print(((2 * 10) / 2) %/% 50)  # Returns 0 (as expected)

This suggests that %/% is evaluated before /, contradicting the expected left-associativity.
Could you please confirm if this is a known issue ?

Best regards,
