OPERATOR(7)

NAME
operator - C operator precedence and order of evaluation

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
|| | 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.
