6. Operator Associativity

• Immutable property of all C++ operators

• There are two types of associativity,

  1. right-to-left associativity:

     • assignment operator:

       • a = b = c is interpreted as a = ( b = c )

     • unary operators:

       • !!b is interpreted as !( !b )

  2. left-to-right associativity:

     • arithmetic and other binary operators:

       • a + b + c is interpreted as ( a + b ) + c
