When operators have the same precedence, the associativity of the operators determines the order in which the operations are performed.
Below are the two associativity of operators in c#:
- Left-associative: The order of execution is from left to right.
- Right-associative: The order of execution is from right to left.
Below is the table that shows the Associativity of Operators in C#.
| Category | Operators | Associativity |
|---|---|---|
| Postfix Increment and Decrement | ++, — | Left to Right |
| Prefix Increment, Decrement, and Unary | ++, –, +, -, !, ~ | Right to Left |
| Multiplicative | *, /, % | Left to Right |
| Additive | +, – | Left to Right |
| Shift | <<, >> | Left to Right |
| Relational | <, <=, >, >= | Left to Right |
| Equality | ==, != | Left to Right |
| Bitwise AND | & | Left to Right |
| Bitwise XOR | ^ | Left to Right |
| Bitwise OR | | | Left to Right |
| Logical AND | && | Left to Right |
| Logical OR | || | Left to Right |
| Ternary | ? : | Right to Left |
| Assignment | =, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, &=, |=, ^=, <<=, >>= | Right to Left |
