Do you remember learning about PEMDAS in school? It applies similarly to programs, but not exactly. Parentheses are done first, multiplication AND division are done left-to-right, and addition AND subtraction are done left-to-right. So in this example, you'd do 2 * 3 first, then 5 - 6, then -1 + 3.

Apply BODMAS rule and precedence of operators in C language... *,/ are of same precedence and +,- are of same precedence ...(*,/) > (+,-)...and in tie cases, it follows left to right approach. As we have only one higher precedence operator i.e., *... 2*3=6 will be performed first...5-6=-1 performed second and lastly -1+3=2 ...hence the answer:2

multiplication gets 1st priority so, -2*3=-6 then addition so -6+3=-3 then subtraction so 5-3=2 .
