What data type will the expression be evaluated to when the type of the first operand is int and the type of the second operand is double?
Correct answer: C. double
- A. int
- B. long
- C. double
- D. float
Explanation
The correct answer is: (e) double.In most programming languages, when an expression involves operands of different data types, a process called type promotion occurs. In this case, the integer operand (int) is promoted to a double (floating-point) to match the data type of the second operand (double). This ensures that both operands have the same type before the operation is performed, resulting in a double precision floating-point number.
