Operator Precedence
When an expression is evaluated each operator is processed in a sequence. This doesn't necessarily mean evaluating these operators from left to right. The Priority or Precedence in which the operators are performed is called the Hierarchy of operators.
| Priority | Operator | Associativity |
|---|---|---|
| (Highest) | ( ) | left-to-right |
| ++, -- | right-to-left | |
| * , / , % | left-to-right | |
| + , - | left-to-right | |
| << , >> | left-to-right | |
| < , > , <= , >= | left-to-right | |
| == , != | left-to-right | |
| && | left-to-right | |
| || | left-to-right | |
| (Lowest) | = , *= , /= , %= , += , -= | right-to-left |
Parentheses have the highest priority. If there are more than one set of parentheses than the inner most parentheses would performed first.
