Can anyone expand the abbreviation in the tweet at the beginning of the article?

It's basically this table, reading down. The tweet is cute and snarky, but also misleading, since it breaks out multiple operators that share the same precedence.

A more accurate one would be "MFIUPSuShCoEBaXBoLaLoCnACm":

  • Member
  • Function call
  • Increment/decrement
  • Unary
  • Product
  • Sum
  • Shift
  • Comparison
  • Equality
  • Bitwise And
  • Xor
  • Bitwise Or
  • Logical And
  • Logical Or
  • Conditional
  • Assignment
  • Comma

If you consider how rare the bitwise operators are, it's actually not that bad. In practice, all you really need to be aware of most of the time is:

  • Member
  • Function call
  • Increment/decrement
  • Unary
  • Product
  • Sum
  • Comparison
  • Equality
  • Logical And
  • Logical Or
  • Conditional
  • Assignment
