Q:

In the following code in which order the functions would be called?

a = ( f1 ( 23,14 ) * f2 ( 12/4) ) + f3() ;

Answer

The order may vary from compiler to compiler.


Here the multiplication will happen before the addition , but in which order the functions would be called is undefined. In an arithmetic expression the parentheses tell the compiler which operands go with which operators but do not force the compiler to evaluate everything within the parentheses first.
