Question

consider the following arithmetic expressions. int a = 11; int b = 3; a = a % b; b -= (a + 1); which of the following statements is true? a = 2 and b = 0 a = 3 and b = -1 a = 3 and b = 1

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate a % b

The % operator is the modulus operator which gives the remainder. Given $a = 11$ and $b = 3$, $11\bmod3=2$, so $a = 2$.

Step2: Calculate b -=(a + 1)

First, find $a + 1$, since $a = 2$, then $a+1=3$. Then, $b-=3$ means $b=b - 3$. Given $b = 3$ initially, $b=3 - 3=0$.

Answer:

a = 2 and b = 0
