Usual Arithmetic Conversions

The operands of a binary operator may have different arithmetic types. In this case, the usual arithmetic conversions are implicitly performed to cast their values in a common type. However, the usual arithmetic conversions are not performed for the assignment operators, nor for the logical operators && and ||.

If operands still have different types after integer promotion, they are converted to the type that appears highest in the hierarchy shown in Figure 1-4. The result of the operation also has this type.

When one complex floating type is converted to another, both the type of the real part and the type of the imaginary part are converted according to the rules applicable to the corresponding real floating types.
