Question

Evaluate the following expression as per Java priority & associativity.

50 % 9 + 50  %  8 + 50 % 7

Answer 1

Priority (Precedence): Modulo (%) has higher precedence than addition (+), so all three modulo operations are evaluated first.

Associativity: Since the % operators share equal precedence, they evaluate from left to right.

• 50 % 9: 50 divided by 9 gives a remainder of 5 (since 9 × 5 = 45).
• 50 % 8: 50 divided by 8 gives a remainder of 2 (since 8 × 6 = 48).
• 50 % 7: 50 divided by 7 gives a remainder of 1 (since 7 × 7 = 49).
• 5 + 2 + 1: Addition completes from left to right (5 + 2 = 7, then 7 + 1 = 8).
  let 5 + 2 + 1 = 8.
