Im just exploring the C++ language and had a quick question regarding the Modulus operator (%)

Why is this statement valid
7.6 * (5 % 2)

where as this isnt
7.6 * 5 % 2
 
Sort by date Sort by votes
you must respect "operator precedence",since * and % have same precedence...and () has higher precedence...

7.6 * 5 % 2 as well as (7.6 * 5) % 2 aren't valid because
the %-operators left operand is of type double.
(int)(7.6 * 5) % 2 however will do because it first does type-casting, then %.
