Operators

This pages shows an overview of all operators in C#.

Most operators in C are also found in C#

The operator priority table of C#. Operators with high level numbers have high priorities. In a given expression, operators of high priority are evaluated before operators with lower priority. The associativity tells if operators at the same level are evaluated from left to right or from right to left.

 

It is possible to overload many of the C# operators

This allows for terse and convenient notation in many classes
