C Operators
An operator is simply a symbol that is used to perform operations. There can be many types of operations like arithmetic, logical, bitwise, etc.
There are following types of operators to perform different types of operations in C language.

Arithmetic Operators
Relational Operators
Shift Operators
Logical Operators
Bitwise Operators
Ternary or Conditional Operators
Assignment Operator
Misc Operator






Precedence of Operators in C
The precedence of operator species that which operator will be evaluated first and next. The associativity specifies the operator direction to be evaluated; it may be left to right or right to left.
Let's understand the precedence by the example given below:

int value=10+20*10;

The value variable will contain 210 because * (multiplicative operator) is evaluated before + (additive operator).
The precedence and associativity of C operators is given below:

 Category OperatorAssociativity 
 Postfix() [] -> .  ++   - -  Left to right 
 Unary +  -   !  ~  ++  - -   (type)*  &  sizeof Right to left
 Multiplicative  *  /  %Left to right 
 Additive +  - Left to right 
 Shift  << >> Left to right 
 Relational < <=  > >= Left to right 
 Equality  ==  != Left to right 
 Bitwise AND& Left to right 
 Bitwise XOR ^ Left to right
 Bitwise OR | Left to right
 Logical AND&& Left to right
Logical OR || Left to right
 Conditional?: Right to left 
Assignment =  +=  -=  *=  /=  %=>>=  <<=  &=  ^=   |=Right to left
 Comma , Left to right
