Question

In what order are the following parameters tested (in C++)?

if (a || b && c) { } 

I’ve just seen this code in our application and I hate it, I want to add some brackets to just clarify the ordering. But I don’t want to add the brackets until I know I’m adding them in the right place.

Edit: Accepted Answer & Follow Up

This link has more information, but it’s not totally clear what it means. It seems || and && are the same precedence, and in that case, they are evaluated left-to-right.

Answer 1

From here:

a || (b && c) 

This is the default precedence.
