Ideas in this flowchart

  • Order of precedence of operators in C
  • Precedence determines the order in which operators in a statement are evaluated.
  • A statement may combine assignment, arithmetic, comparison, and logical operators.
  • Example: (b*b < 4*a*c || a == 0 || argc != 4)
  • Table 16.3 summarizes the precedence levels and associativity of the operators discussed.
  • Highest: ++ and --, with left-to-right associativity; increment operators.
  • - and !, with right-to-left associativity; unary negation and logical not.
  • *, /, and %, with left-to-right associativity.
  • + and -, with left-to-right associativity; addition and subtraction.
  • <, <=, >, and >=, with left-to-right associativity; comparison operators.
  • == and !=, with left-to-right associativity; equality and inequality.
  • &&, with left-to-right associativity; logical And.
  • ||, with left-to-right associativity; logical Or.
  • Lowest: =, +=, -=, *=, and /=, with right-to-left associativity; assignment and compound assignment operators.
  • Operators on the same level have equivalent precedence and are evaluated in their specified associative order.
  • The table is not an exhaustive list of all C operators.

Operators on the same level have equivalent order and are performed in the associative order specified. 16.1.1. Order of Precedence At this point it is worth summarizing the order of precedence of all the operators that we’ve seen so far including assignment, arithmetic, comparison, and logical. Since all of these operators could be used in one statement, for example, (b*b < 4*a*c || a == 0 || argc != 4) it is important to understand the order in which each one gets evaluated. Table 16.3 summarizes the order of precedence for the operators seen so far. This is not an exhaustive list of C operators."
