Question

Evaluate the following expression as per Java priority & associativity.

35 % 6 * 7 / 5

Answer 1

Priority (Precedence): Modulo (%), multiplication (*), and division (/) all have the same precedence level in Java.

Associativity: Because their precedence is equal, Java evaluates them from left to right.

• 35 % 6: Evaluates first. 35 divided by 6 leaves a remainder of 5.
• 5 * 7: Multiplies the result by 7, giving 35.
• 35 / 5: Divides the result by 5. Since all operands are integers, Java performs integer division, giving a final answer of 7.
