C ++ operator precedence

The operators at the top of this list are evaluated first.

Precedence	Operator	Description	Example	Associativity
1	::	Scoping Operator	Class: age = 2;	None
2	() [] -> . ++ --	grouping operator array access member access from a pointer member access from an object post- increment post-Decrement	(A + B)/4; array [4] = 2; PTR-> age = 34; obj. age = 34; for (I = 0; I <10; I ++ )... for (I = 10; I> 0; I --)...	left to right
3	! ~ ++ -- - + * & (Type) Sizeof	Logical Negation Bitwise Complement Pre-Increment Pre-Decrement Unary minus Unary plus Dereference Address Cast to a given type Return size in bytes	If (! Done )...

4	-> * .*	Member pointer Selector Member object Selector	PTR-> * Var = 24; OBJ. * Var = 24;	Left to right
5	* / %	Multiplication Division Modulus	Int I = 2*4; Float F = 10/3; Int REM = 4% 3;	Left to right
