Question

Evaluate the following expressions, if the values of the variables are: ( a = 2, b = 3, ) and ( c = 9 ).

a) ( a - (b++) . (--c) )
A) 26
B) 29
C) 30
D) 27

Answer 1

After evaluating the expression with the given variables (a = 2, b = 3, c = 9), the result is -22, which does not match any of the provided answer choices. It appears there might be an error in the question or the answer choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to evaluate the following expressions given the values of variables a = 2, b = 3, and c = 9. The expression to evaluate is a - (b++) . (--c). In this expression, b++ is a post-increment operator which means it increases the value of b by 1 after using its current value in the expression. Similarly, --c is a pre-decrement operator which decreases the value of c by 1 before using it in the expression.

Let's evaluate the expression step by step

However, none of the given answer choices (A) 26, (B) 29, (C) 30, (D) 27 match the result of the expression we evaluated, which is -22. There may be a mistake in the question or answer choices.
