Which of the following terms is/are combined to make an expression?
Correct answer: D. Both (a) & (b)
- A. Operators
- B. Operands
- C. Comments
- D. Both (a) & (b)
Explanation
An expression in programming is a combination of values (operands) and instructions on how to manipulate those values (operators).Operands are the data values that the operators act on. They can be numbers, variables, constants, or even the results of other expressions.Operators are symbols that specify how the operands should be combined or manipulated. Common operators include arithmetic operators (like +, -, *, /), comparison operators (like ==, !=, <, >), logical operators (like &&, ||, !), and assignment operators (=).In order to create a meaningful expression, you need to combine both operands and operators. For instance, the expression 2 + 3 includes the operands 2 and 3 and the operator +. The expression evaluates to 5
