Operator Precedence in C++

The table below defines operator precedence (and associativity) in C++. Hover on any of the operators in the precedence table for further information.

A bullet (•) represents the operand in unary versions of some operators, for disambiguation.

P.	Arithmetic , Bitwise , Logical , Relational , Pointer/Member and Other Operators		As.
1	::• ::		LTR
2	•++ •-- . -> [] (args) typeid more...
3	++• --• +• -• ! ~ *• &• (type) sizeof new delete new[] delete[]		RTL
4	.* ->*		LTR
5	* / %	Arithmetic
6	+ -
7	<< >>	Bitwise shift
8	< <= > >=	Relational
9	== !=
10	&	Bitwise
11	^
12	|
13	&&	Logical
14	||
15	? : [note] = *= /= %= += -= <<= >>= &= ^= |=	Conditional and Assignment	RTL
16	throw		N/A
17	,		LTR

Note 1: The following operators were omitted for brevity. They belong to precedence level 2.

Note 2: Contrary to many sources, this is indeed the correct precedence and associativity for the ternary operator. See this.
