DESCRIPTION
       This manual page lists C operators and their precedence in evaluation.

       The following notes provide further information to the above table:

       [1]  The () at this precedence is the parenthesized expression.
       [2]  The () at this precedence is the function call operator.
       [3]  The ++ and -- operators at this precedence level are the postfix
            flavors of the operators.
       [4]  The ++ and -- operators at this precedence level are the prefix
            flavors of the operators.
