Modulus Division

Question

I recently enrolled in a Java class and I have a question regarding modulus division.

I get an example in my textbook:

( 100 - 25 * 3 % 4 ) = 97

How does this equal 97? I’ve tried every single possiblity and I just can’t seem to figure it out.

Can someone please be so kind to break it down for me.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Operator Precedence

( 100 - ((25 * 3) % 4) ) = 97

25*3=75

75 MODULO 4=3

100-3=97

That's it.

When you're unsure about operators' priority put parentheses everywhere.
