Operator Precedence

Operator precedence determines the order that operators are evaluated in an expression. For example, in the expression "3 * 4 - 1", the multiplication operator "*" has higher precedence than the subtraction operator "-", so it is evaluated as (3 * 4) - 1, resulting in a value of 11, not 9. An operator precedence table lists common operators from highest to lowest precedence. When two operators have equal precedence, the expression is evaluated left to right based on the operator's associativity.

Operator Precedence

Operator precedence determines the order in which the operators in an expression are
evaluated.
For eg

t
intx = 3 *4-1;

bo
In the above example, the value of x will be 11, not 9. This happens because the
precedence of * operator is higher than operator. That is why the expression is
evaluated as (3 *4) -1 and not 3 * (4-1).

Ifan expression has two operators with similar precedence, the expression is
evaluated according to its associativity (either left to right, or right to left).

Note These notes are just for a quick glance. We don't have to memorize them all at

once. Most of these rules are very logical and we have been following them in a lot of
instances already.
