Because it evaluates the last expression and returns it. So the last expression here is "3"

A different behaviour found for C++ assignment operator, without the parentheses, the first value will be taken instead. (Edit) Apparently the same behaviour in C language. https://code.sololearn.com/c3hQ2573ECgC/?ref=app
