Commutative and Associative

[Menu]   A   B   C   D   E   F   G   H   I
Commutative
Order of appearance of variables makes no difference.
AB  =  BA         A + B  =  B + A

Associative
Order of applying the same operator makes no difference.
(AB)C  =  A(BC)         (A + B) + C  =  A + (B + C)
So simply ABC           So simply A + B + C
