Sr. No. Assignment Question
1
What is the assigned (left-hand side) value in each case?

int s, m=3, n=5, r, t;

float x=3.0, y;
t = n/m;
r = n%m;
y = n/m;
t = x*y-m/2;
x = x*2.0;
s = (m+n)/r;
y = --n;

2
Write a program which will take the input as a floating (real) number. This number
represents the centimeters. Print out the equivalent number of feet(floating, 1
decimal) and inches (floating, 1 decimal), with feet and the inches given to an
accuracy of one decimal place.

Assume 2.54 centimeters per inch, and 12 inches per foot.

If the input value is 333.3, the output format should be:
333.3 centimeters is 10.9 feet
333.33 centimeters is 131.2 inches

3
Find the value of iResult for the following assignment statements:
int iResult, a = 10, b = 8, c = 6, d = 5, e =2;
iResult = a - b - c - d;
iResult = a - b + c - d;
iResult = a + b / c / d;
iResult = a + b / c * d;
iResult = a / b * c * d;
iResult = a % b / c * d;
iResult = a % b % c % d;
iResult = a - (b - c) - d;
iResult = (a - (b - c)) - d;
iResult = a - ((b - c) - d);
iResult = a % (b % c) * d * e;
iResult = a + (b - c) * d - e;
iResult = (a + b) * c + d * e;
iResult = (a + b) * (c / d) % e;
