Precedence and Associativity

The document explains operator precedence and associativity in programming, highlighting how different operators are evaluated based on their precedence levels. It provides examples in C programming to demonstrate how expressions are calculated, emphasizing that multiplication has higher precedence than addition. A table categorizes operators by their precedence and associativity direction, aiding in understanding expression evaluation.

S=*S @ Home Coding Ground © Jobs: [1 Whiteboard & Tools Operator precedence determines the grouping of terms in an expression and decides how an expression is evaluated. Certain operators have higher precedence than others; for example, the multiplication operator has a higher precedence than the addition operator. For example, x = 7 + 3 * 2; here, x is assigned 13, not 20 because operator * has a higher precedence than +, so it first gets multiplied with 3*2 and then adds into 7. Here, operators with the highest precedence appear at the top of the table, those with the lowest appear at the bottom. Within an expression, higher precedence operators will be evaluated first.
