2.3. OPERATORS 29
2.3.5 Bracket operators
The operator [] is used access elements of an arrays (see § 2.9), and () for function calls.
2.3.6 All operators
We haven’t introduced all operators yet. They will be shown in an appropriate context. For
now, we only list the entire operator set with their precedences and associativity. The table is
taken from [?] (by courtesy of Bjarne Stroustrup). For more details about specific operators
see there. The operators on top have the highest priorities. 6
