Summary  
This chapter explains how operator precedence and associativity govern the order in which parts of an expression are evaluated, highlights common pitfalls when mixing operators, and shows how parentheses can be used to enforce the intended evaluation order.

General domain of usage  
Evaluating numeric and logical expressions in code.

Learn how C works at the bit level. This course explains bitwise operators, masks, flags, shifts, and binary data manipulation, helping you write efficient, low-level, and predictable C code.

Explore how binary numbers underpin C programming, including integer storage, signed vs unsigned types, and two’s complement.

Master the use of bitwise operators and shifting for manipulating binary data in C.

Learn to create, combine, and use bit masks and flags for efficient state encoding and manipulation.

Delve into advanced bit manipulation: packing/unpacking, bit rotations, and using bit fields in C structures.
