    Operator Precedence in Java

    Uploaded by

    Gabriela Pech
    Operators in Java have a specific precedence from highest to lowest. Parentheses can be used to alter the default precedence if needed. The highest precedence operators are array indexing, method calls, and member access. Next are unary operators like increment/decrement. Multiplication and division are higher than addition and subtraction. Relational and equality operators like less than and equal to are next. Logical AND has higher precedence than logical OR. Assignment and combined assignment have the lowest precedence.
