Which Java operator is right associative?

Question

Which one will be faster in Java, Increment operator or Decrement operator?

a) for(int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {}    
b) for(int i = 1000; i > 0; i--) {}

Answer 1

Almost all arithmetic operators are left associative. This includes addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division.
Even so, it's good to know what right associativity is.

Here's the rule: if all operators have the same precedence and are right associative, then pick the rightmost uncovered operator to parenthesize.

For example, suppose Java had a $ operator (it doesn't, but pretend that it does), and you wanted to parenthesize a $ b $ c $ d $ e using right associativity.
