DESCRIPTION

       This manual page lists C operators and their precedence in evaluation.

       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

       ?:                                  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] The ++ and -- operators at this  precedence  level  are  the  prefix  flavors  of  the
           operators.
