Operator | Associativity | Notes |
---|---|---|
() [] -> . ++ -- | left to right | [1] |
! ~ ++ -- + - (type) * & sizeof | right to left | [2] |
* / % | left to right | |
+ - | left to right | |
<< >> | left to right | |
< <= > >= | left to right | |
== != | left to right | |
& | left to right | |
^ | left to right | |
| | left to right | |
&& | left to right | |
|| | left to right | |
?: | right to left | |
= += -= *= /= %= <<= >>= &= ^= |= | right to left | |
, | left to right |
The following notes provide further information to the above table:
- [1]
The ++ and -- operators at this precedence level are the postfix flavors of the operators.
- [2]
