Query on operators

[Mary Rachel]

What is the out put of this ??

class Sixties {

public static void main(String[] args) {
int x = 5;
int y = 7;

System.out.println((y*2) % x));
System.out.println("" +(y % x));

}
}

[c]
the output is
4
2
[/c]
[d]
first of all correct your code there was an error you have not closed one of the brackets
class Sixties {

public static void main(String[] args) {
int x = 5;
int y = 7;

System.out.println((y*2) % x);
System.out.println("" +(y % x));
}
}

System.out.println((y*2) % x); // here (y*2)ie.=7*2=14%5 which will give the remainder as 4
[/d]

Not a typical question to be asked.

Mary,

In the future, you should compile the code, run it and see what happens for yourself. Then tweak the code to see how your changes affect the output. This is a great way to learn.

If you want to understand why something happens, then post your question and someone will be happy to help.

Good luck.
