Precedence of operators in an expression overridden by the use of parentheses
In all popular high-level programming languages, the order in which operators are interpreted ("operator precedence") is vital to ensuring that all compilers execute instructions in precisely the same manner, as the "order of operations" rule is vital in mathematics. In the case of C and C++, arithmetic operators are executed prior to logic operators. For a detailed description of operator precedence, see the related links below.
Arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, % ) have greater precedence over relational operators (<, >, <=, >=, ==, !=) in C language.
Each operator has a certain precedence level, usually some numeric value. As you parse the expression, you compare the precedence of each operator with the precedence of the last operator, and you either generate code or you push the operator and its operand(s) on two stacks.
Multiplication, division and modulo all have equal precedence.
Precedence is determined by operators only. Every operator has a precedence in the range 1 through 17, where 1 has the highest precedence. All precedences have left-to-right associativity except 3 and 15 which are right-to-left. Precedence 1: scope-resolution operator Precedence 2: postfix increment/decrement, function-style type cast, function call, array subscripting and selection by reference or pointer. Precedence 3: prefix increment/decrement, unary plus/minus, logical and bitwise NOT, C-style cast, dereferencing, address-of, sizeof, new/new [] and delete/delete []. Precedence 4: pointer to member. Precedence 5: multiplication, division and modulo. Precedence 6: addition and substraction. Precedence 7: bitwise left/right shift. Precedence 8: relational operators (<, <=, > and >=). Precedence 9: equal/not equal operators (= and !=) Precedence 10: bitwise AND Precedence 11: bitwise XOR Precedence 12: bitwise OR Precedence 13: logical AND Precedence 14: llogical OR Precedence 15: ternary conditional, assignment and compound assignment. Precedence 16: throw Precedence 17: comma
Order of precedence is the priority of various operators in an expression, not overridden by parentheses.

Precedence rules specify priority of operators (which operators will be evaluated first, e.g. multiplication has higher precedence than addition, PEMDAS).The associativity rules tell how the operators of same precedence are grouped. Arithmetic operators are left-associative, but the assignment is right associative (e.g. a = b = c will be evaluated as b = c, a = b).

Operator precedence (or, "order of operations") comes up in mathematics and computer programming and dictates which operations should be carried out first in evaluating a mathematical expression. The standard precedence used in math, science, and technology is: exponents and roots multiplication and division addition and subtraction Parentheses are also used for clarification or when the above precedence needs to be over-ridden. For example, with an expression line 3 + 2 * 4, you would start with the multiplication of 2 * 4, because multiplication has precedence over addition.
Parentheses or round brackets ( and ) override operator precedence.
In software, an expression is a combination of values, variables, operators, and functions that can be evaluated to produce a result. Expressions can be used to perform calculations, assign values to variables, and make decisions in programming languages. They are an essential component of writing code and are used to manipulate and process data.
A boolean is an expression obtained in relational operators.
False: highest precedence & bitwise AND ^ bitwise XOR | bitwise OR lowest precedence
