Well, actually no, since the syntax of your example is that bitwise-complement is applied to the result of the cast, there's no way not to do the cast first.Exactly, which is why the type cast operator can't *really* be at a level below the unary prefix operators. If it was, then the one's complement would be evaluated first, which would produce an error since the operand is a floating-point number. I'm following the groupings in section A7 of K?R2, which puts casting into its own subsection, coming after the other prefix unary operators.Thanks for the tip, I'll take a look at K?R2 when I get home. There's also a grammar at the back of the book that might reveal why they put the type cast operator in a separate group.
