Chapter 4, Problem 1MQ5

Explanation of Solution

Evaluate the expression (6/2 + 7 – 5 > 4 AndAlso 7 > 3):

• The AndAlso logical operator evaluates to be “true” when all the sub-conditions are “true” in the compound condition.
• Evaluation of the expression (6/2 + 7 – 5 > 4 AndAlso 7 > 3) is as follows:
• Sub-condition 1:

6/2 + 7 – 5 > 4

  3 + 7 – 5 > 4

     10 - 5 > 4

        5   > 4

• The arithmetic operator (/) is evaluated first in the above expression.
• Then the arithmetic operators (+), (-) are evaluated in the above expression.
• Next the comparison operator, (>), is evaluated to predict whether the left expression is greater than the right expression...
