To find the value of z
in the given code, let's break down the expression step by step:
x++
increments the value of x
by 1 after it is used in the expression. So, the value of x
is now 6.
--y
decrements the value of y
by 1 before it is used in the expression. So, the value of y
is now -11.
y * b
multiplies the value of y
(-11) by the value of b
(2), resulting in -22.
-22 / a
divides the value of -22 by the value of a
(4), resulting in -5.5.
Finally, z = 6 - (-5.5)
, which simplifies to z = 6 + 5.5
. Therefore, z
equals 11.5.
However, since the given variables are integers, the result will be truncated to the nearest integer. So, z
will contain the value 11.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 11.
