// 1 1

Answer 1

Thank you all 😃

Answer 2

If value of a is 8 or value of b is equal to 5 then the next line will be executed.

Answer 4

It will generate an error because in the third line,
if(a=8||b==5), you can not use an assignment statement as a condition for if. a=8 is an assignment statement

Answer 5

When I was begginer I posted that srry

Answer 6

if condition will be skipped because it return false, so it will execute
cout<< " "<< a; equivalent with cout<<a; where int a=7; "" empty space. The output is 7. if condition use assignment operator == instead of = to avoid certain error in c++.

Answer 7

if(a=8 || 1 ==5) since b =1
1==5 will return 0 (false)
And since 8 is a positive integer you can assign the value 8 to a so a=8 will return true that is 1
So 1 || 0 will return 1.
That is a*b will be 1*1 and a is also 1.
so the final answer would be 1 1
