| Operator | Associativity | Notes 
 | 
| () [] -> . ++ -- | left to right | [1] 
 | 
| ! ~ ++ -- + - (type) * & sizeof | right to left | [2] 
 | 
| * / % | left to right | 
 | 
| + - | left to right | 
 | 
| << >> | left to right | 
 | 
| < <= > >= | left to right | 
 | 
| == != | left to right | 
 | 
| & | left to right | 
 | 
| ha | left to right | 
 | 
| | | left to right | 
 | 
| && | left to right | 
 | 
| || | left to right | 
 | 
| ?: | right to left | 
 | 
| = += -= *= /= %= <<= >>= &= ha= |= | right to left | 
 | 
| , | left to right |

The following notes provide further information to the above table:
- [1]
- 
The ++ and -- operators at this precedence level are
the postfix flavors of the operators.
- [2]
- 
The ++ and -- operators at this precedence level are
the prefix flavors of the operators.
