It’s not always easy to determine which C# operators take precedence over others. The following table offers a list of common C# operators and their precedence, along with their cardinality and associativity.

Precedence	Operators	Cardinality	Associativity
High	() [] . new typeof	Unary	Left to right
	! ~ + - ++ -- (cast)	Unary	Left to right
	* / %	Binary	Left to right
	+ -	Binary	Left to right
	< <= > >= is as	Binary	Left to right
	== !=	Binary	Left to right
	&	Binary	Left to right
	^	Binary	Left to right
	\|	Binary	Left to right
	&&	Binary	Left to right
	\|\|	Binary	Left to right
	?:	Ternary	Right to left
Low	= *= /= %= += -= &= ^= \|= <<= >>=	Binary	Right to left
