You develop a Python application for your company. You have the following code. Which of the following expressions is equivalent to the expression in the function?
A does not match because it changes the order of operations by prioritizing addition/subtraction.
B will produce a syntax error, as it includes 2 open parentheses, but 3 closing parentheses.
C will produce a syntax error, as it includes 3 open parentheses, but 2 closing parentheses.
This leaves D as the correct answer.
The expression in the function is:
value = a + b * c - d
According to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), multiplication is performed before addition and subtraction. Therefore, the expression can be rewritten with parentheses to make the order of operations explicit:
value = a + (b * c) - d
This matches option B:
B. (a + (b * c)) - d)
So, the correct answer is:
B. (a + (b * c)) - d)
B is correct. Multiplication has higher precedence than addition and substraction. Then for addition and substraction with the same precedence, left associativity is applied.
b is the correct answer
According to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), multiplication is performed before addition and subtraction.
Specifically:
Multiplication: b * c
Addition: a + (result of b * c)
Subtraction: (result of a + b * c) - d
Answer D is correct. None of the above.
A is wrong since multiplication has higher precedence than addition/subtraction
B has a closing ")" too much
C has an opening "(" too much
