#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int x=21,y=31 ,z; z=(x%5)*9/(y%6)*9; cout << z; return 0; } //according to me answer should be 1 but it was showing 81

81 is the correct ans (21%5)*9/(31%6)*9 1*9/1*9=81 Because multiplication and division have same priority so it execute left to right

brackets is the high priority and then * and /. first calculate inside the bracket and goes from left to right

first division is done then multiplication is done z=(21%5)*9/(31%6)*9 z=1*9/1*9 z=1*9*9 z=9*9 z=81

Nope answer is 81. Look into order of operations and operator precedence. Parentheses come first: (x%5) = 1 (y%6) = 1 results to: 1 * 9 / 1 * 9 Multiplication and Division have the same precedence so they evaluate left to right: 1 * 9 = 9 results to: 9 / 1 * 9 9 / 1 = 9 results to: 9 * 9 = 81

ok lets see 1*9/1*9 // here 9/1 is done first then other operations not multiplication like 1*9 =1*9/9 =1*1 =1
