This is interpreted as:

      print(3+4) +7;

where the arguments to print are enclosed in parenthesis, and the result
from the print function is added to 7 and discarded.

Try this for example:

     $a = print(3+4)+7;
     print "\n$a\n";

The output will be:

7
8

The print function returns 1, and 1+7 is 8.
