Operator precedence

Operator precedence is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

This page uses content from Wikipedia. The original article was at Operators in C and C++. The list of authors can be seen in the page history. As with Rosetta Code, the text of Wikipedia is available under the GNU FDL. (See links for details on variance)

The following contains tables of precedence and associativity of all the operators various languages. Operators are listed top to bottom, in descending precedence. Descending precedence refers to the priority of evaluation. Considering an expression, an operator which is listed on some row will be evaluated prior to any operator that is listed on a row further below it. Operators that are in the same cell (there may be several rows of operators listed in a cell) are evaluated with the same precedence, in the given direction.

C++

The following is a table that lists the precedence and associativity of all the operators in the C and C++ languages. An operator's precedence is unaffected by overloading.
