C.1. C++ Operator Precedence

Table C.1 arranges the C++ operators according to their precedence (order of evaluation). Operators that appear at the top of the table evaluate earlier than those below. Operators at the same precedence level (between horizontal lines) evaluate left to right or right to left, according to their associativity.

Table C.1. C++ operator precedence

Operator	Meaning	Associativity	Use
::	global scope	right to left	::name
::	class, namespace scope	left to right	name::member
.	direct member	left to right	object.member
->	indirect member	left to right	pointer->member
[]	subscript	left to right	pointer[expr]
()	function call	left to right	expr(arg)
()	type construction	left to right	type(expr)
++	postfix increment	left to ...
