Answer & Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
The correct answer is B: 11
Let's break down why:
C++ follows the standard order of operations (often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS/BODMAS).
This means:
*
Parentheses/
Brackets (None in this expression)
*
Exponents/
Orders (None in this expression)
*
Multiplication and
Division (from left to right)
*
Addition and
Subtraction (from left to right)
In the expression 5 + 3 * 2:
1. First, we perform the
multiplication: 3 * 2 = 6
2. Then, we perform the
addition: 5 + 6 = 11
Therefore, the result of the expression is 11.
Option A (16) is incorrect because it doesn't follow the order of operations (it would result from doing 5+3 first).
Option C (10) is incorrect for the same reason.
Option D (Compiler error) is incorrect. The expression is perfectly valid in C++ and will compile and run.
