       The following notes provide further information to the above table:

       [1]  The  ++  and -- operators at this precedence level are the postfix flavors of the opera‐
            tors.
       [2]  The ++ and -- operators at this precedence level are the prefix flavors  of  the  opera‐
            tors.
