What is the output of the program
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int x = 10, y = 20, z = 5, i;
    i = x < y < z;
    printf("%d\n", i);
    return 0;
}
0
1
Error
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Since x < y turns to be TRUE it is replaced by 1. Then 1 < z is compared and to be TRUE. The 1 is assigned to i.

What if the program is like this:

main()
{
int a=4,b=2;
a=b<<a+b>>2;
printf("%d",a);
}

What will be the output?

I think #include<stdbool.h> Header file must be used to assign 1=true and 0=false but it is not used in the program.

How is it possible? to get output as 1 When we compare x<y.anyone explain?

No that's an wrong answer. If returning type would be Boolean that it would have been an correct answer.

I think <, > have equal priority and the = have lesser priority than <, >.

<, > assign the priority based on 1st come 1st order.

can anyone tell me the priorities of < , > ,= operators?

@Mary,

If x>y>z then,

10>20 return false "0".

0>5 return false "0".

The output will be 0.

Can you explain what is the result if the case is like x>y>z?

I am explaining my thought.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x = 10, y = 20, z = 5, i;
i = x < y < z;
printf("%d
", i);
return 0;
}
here i=10<20<5
Now c compiler starts execution from left side.
that is 10<20 returns TRUE and TRUE < 5 means 0 < 5 which is TRUE means Ans is 1

What is the priority of =, < and > symbols. Can anyone explain?

@Krishna,as per priority given to the operaters, '=' is having highest priority and the operator ' will move from left to right.

and given as i=x,y,z.
so,
i=x=10.
