C Operator Precedence Table
This page lists C operators in order of precedence (highest to lowest). Their associativity indicates in what order operators of equal precedence in an expression are applied.
Operator | Description | Associativity |
|---|
( )
[ ]
.
->
++ -- | Parentheses (function call) (see Note 1)
Brackets (array subscript)
Member selection via object name
Member selection via pointer
Postfix increment/decrement (see Note 2) | left-to-right |
++ --
+ -
! ~
(type)
*
&
sizeof | Prefix increment/decrement
Unary plus/minus
Logical negation/bitwise complement
Cast (convert value to temporary value of type)
Dereference
Address (of operand)
