true

Code Understanding

int a=10,b=12,c=14; //Three integer variables initialised for further computation

boolean d= a-c%b >= 8 && a*2 == b*2-4;
We shall analyse this computation with step by step approach

STEP 1: 10-14%12 >= 8 && 10*2 == 12*2-4;
Values are put in the expression

STEP 2: 10-2 >= 8 && 20 == 24-4;
Arithmetic computation step is done to bring it to minimum level.

STEP 3: 8 >= 8 && 20 == 20;
Level up to only comparison and logical steps are brought

STEP 4: true && true;
Comparison level is done first

STEP 5: true;
Logical level is applied next

System.out.println(d);
Final output is printed

Notes

• Whenever comparison and logical operators are involved the final expression will always be a boolean expression which will evaluate to either true or false.
• The operator precedence table can be seen at this link.

Common Errors

• Student often try to do make these evaluations in one go and errors are quite likely. The stepwise approach is always better.
