Can anyone please tell me the explanation for the right to left associativity of the conditional operator. Associativity means that whenever a choice is to be made amongst the operands of a conditional operator that side operand is solved first which has no ambiguity. Now if "?:" , this operator has a right to left associativity then why the resulst of this expression is ab. Printf("a")?printf("b")rintf("c")?printf("d")rintf("e");
