Here, Multiplication will happen before the addition, but in which order the functions would be called is undefined. In an arithmetic expression the parenthesis tell the compiler which operands go with which operators but do not force the compiler to evaluate everything within the parenthesis first.

An operation with only one operand is called unary operation.
Unary operators:
! Logical NOT operator.
~ bitwise NOT operator.
sizeof Size-of operator.

&& Logical AND is a logical operator.

Therefore, 1, 2, 3 are unary operators.

C uses left associativity for evaluating expressions to break a tie between two operators having same precedence.

Simply called as BODMAS (Bracket of Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction).

How Do I Remember ? BODMAS !

B - Brackets first

O - Orders (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)

DM - Division and Multiplication (left-to-right)

AS - Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

2. Arithmetic operators: *, /, %, +, -
1. Relational operators: >, <, >=, <=, ==, !=
3. Logical operators : !, &&, ||
4. Assignment operators: =

Option A: assignment statements are always return in paranthesis in the case of conditional operator. It should be a>b? (c=30):(c=40);

Option B: it is syntatically wrong.

Option D: syntatically wrong, it should be return(a>b ? a:b);

Option C: it uses nested conditional operator, this is logic for finding greatest number out of three numbers.

Step 1: int i=4, j=-1, k=0, w, x, y, z; here variable i, j, k, w, x, y, z are declared as an integer type and the variable i, j, k are initialized to 4, -1, 0 respectively.

Step 2: w = i || j || k; becomes w = 4 || -1 || 0;. Hence it returns TRUE. So, w=1

Step 3: x = i && j && k; becomes x = 4 && -1 && 0; Hence it returns FALSE. So, x=0

Step 4: y = i || j &&k; becomes y = 4 || -1 && 0; Hence it returns TRUE. So, y=1

Step 5: z = i && j || k; becomes z = 4 && -1 || 0; Hence it returns TRUE. So, z=1.

Step 6: printf("%d, %d, %d, %d\n", w, x, y, z); Hence the output is "1, 0, 1, 1".

Step 1: char ch; ch = 'A'; here variable ch is declared as an character type an initialized to 'A'.

Step 2: printf("The letter is"); It prints "The letter is".

Step 3: printf("%c", ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'Z' ? ch + 'a' - 'A':ch);

The ASCII value of 'A' is 65 and 'a' is 97.

Here

=> ('A' >= 'A' && 'A' <= 'Z') ? (A + 'a' - 'A'):('A')

=> (TRUE && TRUE) ? (65 + 97 - 65) : ('A')

=> (TRUE) ? (97): ('A')

In printf the format specifier is '%c'. Hence prints 97 as 'a'.

Step 4: printf("Now the letter is"); It prints "Now the letter is".

Step 5: printf("%c\n", ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'Z' ? ch : ch + 'a' - 'A');

Here => ('A' >= 'A' && 'A' <= 'Z') ? ('A') : (A + 'a' - 'A')

=> (TRUE && TRUE) ? ('A') :(65 + 97 - 65)

=> (TRUE) ? ('A') : (97)

It prints 'A'

Hence the output is

The letter is a
Now the letter is A

Step 1: int x=12, y=7, z; here variable x, y and z are declared as an integer and variable x and y are initialized to 12, 7 respectively.

Step 2: z = x!=4 || y == 2;
becomes z = 12!=4 || 7 == 2;
then z = (condition true) || (condition false); Hence it returns 1. So the value of z=1.

Step 3: printf("z=%d\n", z); Hence the output of the program is "z=1".

Step 1: int i=-3, j=2, k=0, m; here variable i, j, k, m are declared as an integer type and variable i, j, k are initialized to -3, 2, 0 respectively.

Step 2: m = ++i && ++j || ++k;
becomes m = (-2 && 3) || ++k;
becomes m = TRUE || ++k;.
(++k) is not executed because (-2 && 3) alone return TRUE.
Hence this statement becomes TRUE. So it returns '1'(one). Hence m=1.

Step 3: printf("%d, %d, %d, %d\n", i, j, k, m); In the previous step the value of i,j are increemented by '1'(one).

Hence the output is "-2, 3, 0, 1".
