What is an expression in C?
What is an expression in C?
A combination of variables, constants, and operators.
In the statement variable = expression;, the expression is evaluated first and then the previous value of the variable on the left is replaced. The operators like =, +=, -=, *=, /=, and %= are always applied last in an expression.

Study Notes
Expressions
- An expression is a combination of variables, constants, and operators.
- Expressions are written according to the syntax of the C language.
- In a statement,
variable = expression;, the expression is evaluated first, and then the previous value of the variable on the left is replaced. - Operators like
=,+=,-=,*=,/=, and%=are always applied last in an expression.
Operator Precedence
- Operator precedence defines the order in which operators are evaluated in an expression.
- The priority of operators indicates the order of evaluation, with higher priority operators being evaluated first.
- Parentheses
(), brackets[], and member selection (->) have the highest precedence. - Unary operators like
++,--,+,-,!,~,*,&, andsizeofhave higher precedence than binary operators. - Multiplication, division, and modulus (
*,/,%) have higher precedence than addition and subtraction (+,-). - Bitwise operators have lower precedence than arithmetic operators.
- Logical operators like
&&,||, and?:have lower precedence than bitwise operators. - Assignment operators like
=,+=,-=,*=,/=,%=,&=,^=,|=,<<=,>>=have the lowest precedence.
