Chapter: Precedence of Operators
1.

The value of the expressions 4/(3*(2-1)) and 4/3*(2-1) is the same.

A. true
B. false
Answer» A. true
Explanation: although the presence of parenthesis does affect the order of precedence, in the case shown above, it is not making a difference. the result of both of these expressions is 1.333333333. hence the statement is true.
2.

What will be the value of the following Python expression? 4 + 3 % 5

A. 4
B. 7
C. 2
D. 0
Answer» B. 7
Explanation: the order of precedence is: %,+. Hence the expression above, on
simplification results in 4 + 3 = 7.
Hence the result is 7.
3.

Which of the following operators has its associativity from right to left?

A. +
B. //
C. %
D. **
Answer» D. **
Explanation: all of the operators shown above have associativity from left to right, except exponentiation operator (**) which has its associativity from right to left.
4.

What will be the value of x in the
following Python expression?
x = int(43.55+2/2)

A. 43
B. 44
C. 22
D. 23
Answer» B. 44
Explanation: The expression shown above is
an example of explicit conversion. It is
evaluated as int(43.55+1) = int(44.55) = 44.
Hence the result of this expression is 44.
5.

What is the value of the following expression? 2+4.00, 2**4.0

A. (6.0, 16.0)
B. (6.00, 16.00)
C. (6, 16)
D. (6.00, 16.0)
Answer» A. (6.0, 16.0)
Explanation: the result of the expression shown above is (6.0, 16.0). this is because the result is automatically rounded off to one decimal place.
6.

Which of the following is the truncation division operator?

A. /
B. %
C. //
Answer» C. //
Explanation: // is the operator for truncation division. it is called so because it returns only the integer part of the quotient, truncating the decimal part. for example: 20//3 = 6.
7.

What are the values of the following
Python expressions?
2**(3**2)
(2**3)**2
2**3**2

A. 64, 512, 64
B. 64, 64, 64
C. 512, 512, 512
D. 512, 64, 512
Answer» D. 512, 64, 512
Explanation: Expression 1 is evaluated as:
2**9, which is equal to 512. Expression 2 is
evaluated as 8**2, which is equal to 64. The
last expression is evaluated as 2**(3**2).
This is because the associativity of **
operator is from right to left. Hence the result
of the third expression is 512.
8.

What is the value of the following expression? 8/4/2, 8/(4/2)

A. (1.0, 4.0)
B. (1.0, 1.0)
C. (4.0. 1.0)
D. (4.0, 4.0)
Answer» A. (1.0, 4.0)
Explanation: the above expressions are evaluated as: 2/2, 8/2, which is equal to (1.0, 4.0).
9.

What will be the value of X in the
following Python expression?
X = 2+9*((3*12)-8)/10

A. 30.0
B. 30.8
C. 28.4
D. 27.2
Answer» D. 27.2
Explanation: The expression shown above is
evaluated as: 2+9*(36-8)/10, which simplifies
to give 2+9*(2.8), which is equal to
2+25.2 =27.2.
Hence the result of this expression is 27.2.
10.

What will be the output of the following
Python expression?
24//6%3, 24//4//2

A. (1,3)
B. (0,3)
C. (1,0)
D. (3,1)
Answer» A. (1,3)
Explanation: the expressions are evaluated as: 4%3 and 6//2 respectively. this results in the answer (1,3). this is because the associativity of both of the expressions shown above is left to right.
11.

What will be the value of the following
Python expression?
float(4+int(2.39)%2)

A. 5.0
B. 5
C. 4.0
D. 4
Answer» C. 4.0
Explanation: the above expression is an example of explicit conversion. it is evaluated as: float(4+int(2.39)%2) = float(4+2%2) = float(4+0) = 4.0. hence the result of this expression is 4.0.
12.

What will be the value of the following
Python expression?
4+2**5//10

A. 3
B. 7
C. 77
D. 0
Answer» B. 7
Explanation: The order of precedence is: **,
//, +. The expression 4+2**5//10 is evaluated
as 4+32//10, which is equal to 4+3 = 7. Hence
the result of the expression shown above is 7.
13.

The expression 2**2**3 is evaluates as: (2**2)**3.

A. true
B. false
Answer» B. false
Explanation: the value of the expression (2**2)**3 = 4**3 = 64. when the expression 2**2**3 is evaluated in python, we get the result as 256, because this expression is evaluated as 2**(2**3). this is because the associativity of exponentiation operator (**) is from right to left and not from left to right.
