I cant believe that output!

Answer 1

so here is the answer

the resultant data type of an expression in the largest data type in the expression

so when you do:

short(a)*float(1.5) the resultant is biggest data type i.e float hence result will be 3.0 but since func takes an int hence, 3.0 will be truncated to 3

next you do

int(a)/int(4) here biggest data type is int so the resultant will be 0

so for func x=3,y=0

thus result will be 3

if you don't believe print the variables in function

Answer 2

@Talha
I checked and replaced the output to myfunc.
It is the same result.

Answer 3

@Prince Gupta

You are right.

Answer 4

We can solve this by just changing the data type of resultant...
