Arithmetic operators can be used with any numeric type.
They operate on numbers and the result is a number.
The type of the result depends on the types of the operands.
If the types of the operands differ (e.g.: an integer added to
a floating point number), one is “promoted” to other.
The “smaller” type is promoted to the “larger” one
char  int  float  double
Result of an operator depends on the types of operands
If both operands are int, the result is int
If one or both operands are double/float, the result is
double

The higher precedence will done first followed by the lower
precedence.
Compiler will follows the following precedence to execute the
arithmetic expression based on priority.

+, - Last
If the operators have the same precedence, then follows the rules
of associativity

Associativity can be form either the left or the right
Left associativity evaluates expression by starting
on the left and moving to the right
Right associativity –from right to the left
Associativity is used only when the operators all
have the same precedence level
Example: Associativity from left to right
3*8/4%4*5
((((3 * 8) / 4) % 4) * 5)

Compiler will follows the following associativity to execute the
arithmetic expression if the operators have the same precedence.
Operator Associativity
() Left to right
+ (unary), - (unary), ++, --, ! Right to left
*, /, % Left to right
+, - Left to right
<, <=, >, >= Left to right
==, != Left to right
&& Left to right
|| Left to right
?: Right to left
