C Operator Precedence and Associativity

The document describes the operator precedence and associativity in C. It lists the operators from highest to lowest precedence and whether the associativity is left-to-right or right-to-left. Parentheses, function calls, and member selection have the highest precedence, while assignment operators have the lowest precedence.

such parenthetical expressions can be nested and are evaluated from inner to outer.
