Question

Which of the following is the correct order of evaluation for the below

expression?

z = x + y * z / 4 % 2 – 1

A. * / % + - =
B. = * / % + -

C. / * % - + =

D. * % / - + =​

Answer 1

Answer:

B is the correct answer

Explanation:

hope it helps

Answer 2

The correct order of evaluation for the expression is * / % + - =

A. * / % + - =

Explanation

These expressions are solved according to the operator's precedence. By precedence, it means which operator will be solved first in expression.

Precedence from highest to lowest (of basic operators) is as follows:

1. Parentheses ((), [], etc.)

2. Exponent (**)

3. Multiplication, Division, Floor division, Modulus (*, /, //, %)

4. Addition, Subtraction (+, -)

Extra Information

There are various types of Arithmetic Operators such as

(A) + operator

It is used to add two operands

Example

print(5+3)

The output will be 8

(B) - operator

It is used to subtract two operands

Example

print(5-3)

The output will be 2

(C) * operator

It is used to multiply two operands

Example

print(5*3)

The output will be 15

(D) / operator

It is used to divide the operands and will give the output in float or decimal value.

Example

print(5/3)

The output will be 1.6666666666666667

(E) // operator

It is used to divide the operands and will not give the output in float or decimal value even if required. It only gives an integer value as output.

Example

print(5//3)

The output will be 1

(F) % operator

It is used to divide the operands and return the remainder

Example

print(5%3)

The output will be 2

(G) *‏‏‎‎‎‎‎* operator

It is used to raise one operand to the power of another.

Example

print(5*‎‎*3)

The output will be 125

In mathematical terms, it will be like 5³ which is 125
