//C++ Operators

//  Operators specify an evaluation to be performed on one of the following:

//    One operand (unary operator)

//    Two operands (binary operator)

//    Three operands (ternary operator)

//  The C++ language includes all C operators and adds several new operators.

//  Table 1.1 lists the operators available in Microsoft C++.

//  Operators follow a strict precedence which defines the evaluation order of

//expressions containing these operators.  Operators associate with either the

//expression on their left or the expression on their right;    this is called

//“associativity.” Operators in the same group have equal precedence and are

//evaluated left to right in an expression unless explicitly forced by a pair of

//parentheses, ( ).

//  Table 1.1 shows the precedence and associativity of C++ operators

//  (from highest to lowest precedence).

//

//Table 1.1   C++ Operator Precedence and Associativity

// The highest precedence level is at the top of the table.
