The Output is 19 of the below code, The question is "How" ?, I really don't get it !

Question

int a,b,c;
a = 12;
b = 7;
c = 24;
cout << c-a % b;

Answer 1

The output is 19 because of the operator precedence and associativity rules of C++.

In the given code, the expression a % b is evaluated first because the modulus operator % has higher precedence than the subtraction operator -. So, a % b evaluates to 5.

Then, the expression c - 5 is evaluated, which gives the result 19. This is because subtraction has left-to-right associativity, which means that the expression will be evaluated from left to right.

Therefore, the final output is 19.

Answer 2

Okay okay got it, its like DMAS system 👍🏻. Thanks for the help :)

Answer 3

12 % 7 = 5

24 - 5 = 19

Answer 4

You have to study operator precedence to figure out what is going on 👍

Answer 5

Oky got it thanks :)

Answer 6

Yeah i already got it, it is similar to the DMAS (Divide/Multiply/Addition/Subtract) of what we studied in our Mathematics 😃.

Answer 7

But it says that firstly subtract c & a and then 'remainders' their answers to the b. Am i saying right ?
