   In a lot of cases, C operator precedence sucks.  (I can quote K&R saying the
   same thing -- different wording, of course.  Lets not argue about this point.)
   How does one deal with it?

   My solution:  Most of the time I know.  When I don't, I try it one way, and if
   it doesn't work right, I put parentheses in to force the issue.  Many times I
   just add them to begin with.

My solution: Photocopy the table on page 49 of K&R1 (Page 53 of K&R2
is not as neat looking), and stick it on the wall next to your screen.
When in doubt (and even when not in doubt), look it up.
