Question

Evaluate the following expression as per Java priority & associativity.

1234 % 100 – 1234/100

Answer 1

Priority (Precedence): Modulo (%) and division (/) have higher precedence than subtraction (–), so they are evaluated first.

Associativity: Since % and / share equal precedence, they evaluate from left to right.

• 1234 % 100: Leaves a remainder of 34.
• 1234 / 100: Performs integer division, discarding the remainder, which gives 12.
• 34 – 12: Subtraction completes, giving a final answer of 22.
