Associativity-and-Precedence
Question 1 |
The attributes of three arithmetic operators in some programming language are given below.
Operator Precedence Associativity Arity + High Left Binary − Medium Right Binary ∗ Low Left Binary

Question 1 Explanation:
+ has highest precedence, so it will be evaluated first.
2 − 5 + 1 − 7 * 3 = 2 − (5 + 1) − 7 * 3 = 2 − 6 − 7 * 3
Now, − has more precedence than *, so sub will be evaluated before * and – has right associative so (6 − 7) will b
2 − 5 + 1 − 7 * 3 = 2 − (5 + 1) − 7 * 3 = 2 − 6 − 7 * 3
Now, − has more precedence than *, so sub will be evaluated before * and – has right associative so (6 − 7) will b
