In an expression statement, precedence decides the order of operations performed based on operator use. Following is the list all operators in Java and it’s having precedence and execution direct of operators.
“Operators with higher precedence are executed before those of lower precedence.”
| Precedence | Operator | Description | Association |
| 1 | ++,– | Postincrement, Postdecrement | R -> L |
| 2 | ++,–+,- ~ ! | Pre-increment, Predecrement Unary plus, unary minus Bitwise complement Boolean NOT | R -> L |
| 3 | new (Type) |
Create Object Typecast |
R -> L |
| 4 | *,/,% | Multiplication, division, remainder | L -> R |
| 5 | +- + |
Addition, subtraction String Concatenation |
L -> R |
| 6 | <>, >>> | Left shift, right shift, unsigned right shift | L -> R |
| 7 | <, , >=instanceof | Type Comparison | L -> R |
| 8 | ==, != ==, != |
