Multiple operators with different precedence

Reports binary, conditional, or instanceof expressions that consist of different operators without parentheses. Such expressions can be less readable due to different precedence rules of operators.

Example:

int n = 3 + 9 * 8 + 1;

After quick-fix is applied:

int n = 3 + (9 * 8) + 1;
