simple ques operator precedence

[technologist]

Hi

I was reviewing precedence order way back and I couldn't remember/understand why the following expression yielded the result it has:

 
x = 5 + (7 % 2);  //x = 6

why 6?

thx

7%2 gives 1.

5+1 gives 6.

[ChajusSaib]

(7 % 2); // yields 1
therefore:
x = 5 + 1; //x = 6

Thx, I've got the operator precedence down. The trick was reviewing the modulus operator: it required integer division that evaluated to an integer result (+ remainder). I understand now.

Thnx!
