for (int m=0;m<3;++m) { cout << m%2?m:m+2; } why output of this code is 010 ?

The reason why you got 010 instead of 214 is because the statement was evaluated as: (cout << m%2)?m:m+2; instead of cout << (m%2?m:m+2); http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/operator_precedence

It seems that c++ just looks at m%2 if you don't put the whole block in parentheses: cout << (m%2?m:m+2)

Rahul George 214 is correct: m = 0 -> false -> m+2 = 2 m = 1 -> true -> 1 m = 2 -> 2%2=0 -> false -> m+2 = 4

No paranthesis changes precedence level. Modulus has highest precedence and will do it first.
