warning C6336: arithmetic operator has precedence over question operator, use parentheses to clarify intent
This warning indicates a possible operator precedence problem. The '+','-','*' and '/' operators have precedence over the '?' operator. If the precedence in the expression is not correct, use parentheses to change the operator precedence.
Example
The following code generates this warning:
int Count();
void f(int flag)
{
int result;
result = Count() + flag ? 1 : 2;
// code...
}
To correct this warning, add parenthesis as shown in the following code:
int Count();
void f(int flag)
{
int result;
result = Count() + (flag ? 1 : 2);
// code...
}
