Precedence PDF

This document describes C operator precedence and associativity. It lists C operators from highest to lowest precedence and whether they associate left-to-right or right-to-left. Parentheses have the highest precedence and associate left-to-right, while assignment operators have the lowest precedence and associate right-to-left.

C Operator Precedence and Associativity

Operator Description Associativity


() Parentheses (function call) (see Note 1) left­to­right
[] Brackets (array subscript)

! ~ Logical negation/bitwise complement
(type) Cast (change type)
* Dereference
& Address
sizeof   Determine size in bytes
* / % Multiplication/division/modulus left­to­right
+ - Addition/subtraction left­to­right
<< >> Bitwise shift left, Bitwise shift right left­to­right
< <= Relational less than/less than or equal to left­to­right
> >= Relational greater than/greater than or equal to
== != Relational is equal to/is not equal to left­to­right
& Bitwise AND left­to­right
^ Bitwise exclusive OR left­to­right
| Bitwise inclusive OR left­to­right
&& Logical AND left­to­right

?: Ternary conditional right­to­left

*= /= Multiplication/division assignment

, Comma (separate expressions) left­to­right

Note 1: Parentheses are also used to group expressions to force a different order of evaluation; 
such parenthetical expressions can be nested and are evaluated from inner to outer.
