Operator Precedence

Operators in expressions can be arithmetic (signed, unsigned, or logical) or conditional

(relational, signed or unsigned). Within an expression, the compiler evaluates the

operators in the order of precedence. Within each level of precedence, the compiler

evaluates the operators from left to right.
