C operators' precedence

C programs are built from statements, statements from expressions, and expressions from operators and operands. C is usually rich in operators. Because of this richness, the rules that determine how operators apply to operands play a central role in the understanding of expressions. here goes the rules:

 

There are fifteen layers.

OPERATOR                                ASSOCIATIVITY

primary:  ()[]->.                                            left to right
unary:   ! ~ ++ -- +(Positive)
-(Negative) *(Pointer) (type) sizeof        right to left
multiplicative: * / %                                     left to right
additive: + -                                                  left to right
shift: << >>    l                                              left to right
relational: < <= > >=                                   left to right
equality: == !=                                              left to right
bitwise: &                                                     left to right
bitwise: ^                                                      left to right
bitwise: |                                                       left to right
logical: &&                                                   left to right
logical: ||                                                       left to right
conditional: ?:                                             right to left
assignment: = += -=   *= /= 
 %=   &=   ^=   |=   <<=   >>=                      right to left
comma: ,                                                      left to right
