-Use grouping parentheses to disambiguate expressions that contain both `||` and
-`&&`, or both shift and arithmetic operators.
+Use grouping parentheses to disambiguate expressions that could be
+misinterpreted.

+For example, consider this:
+
+```java
+boolean d = (a && b) || c;",
+boolean e = (a || b) ? c : d;",
+int z = (x + y) << 2;",

+Instead of this:
