5.4 Operators and Expression Evaluation

Once we can declare data to be the type and size with the appropriate precision for our task, we would like to perform operations with the data. We have already discussed some of the basic C operators, and in this section we provide the complete precedence table for all C operators. We present a few new operators here, and others shown in the table will be discussed in detail in later chapters.
