       ,                                   left to right

       The following notes provide further information to the above
       table:

       [1]  The ++ and -- operators at this precedence level are the
            postfix flavors of the operators.
       [2]  The ++ and -- operators at this precedence level are the
            prefix flavors of the operators.
