Question

Evaluate the following expression as per Java priority & associativity.

6598 / (20 % 8)

Answer 1

Priority (Precedence): Parentheses () have the highest precedence, so the expression inside them evaluates first.

• (20 % 8): Leaves a remainder of 4 (since 8 × 2 = 16). The expression simplifies to 6598/4.
• 6598/4: Performs integer division. Since both operands are integers, Java truncates the decimal portion, giving 1649 (instead of 1649.5).
