Operator precedence determines the order in which operators are evaluated. Operators with higher precedence are evaluated first.
A common example:
3 + 4 * 5 // returns 23
The multiplication operator ("*") has higher precedence than the addition operator ("+") and thus will be evaluated first.
Associativity
Associativity determines the order in which operators of the same precedence are processed. For example, consider an expression:
a OP b OP c
Left-associativity (left-to-right) means that it is processed as (a OP b) OP c, while right-associativity (right-to-left) means it is interpreted as a OP (b OP c). Assignment operators are right-associative, so you can write:
a = b = 5;
with the expected result that a and b get the value 5. This is because the assignment operator returns the value that it assigned. First, b is set to 5. Then the a is also set to 5, the return value of b = 5, aka right operand of the assignment.
Table
The following table is ordered from highest (20) to lowest (0) precedence.
