Arizona State University (ASU) CSE110 Principles of Programming Exam 1 Practice

To evaluate the expression (45 / 6) % 5, you need to follow the order of operations, which dictates that division occurs before modulus.

First, perform the division:

45 / 6 equals 7.5. However, since we're dealing with integer division in this context (as would typically be expected in programming), the result will be truncated to 7.

Next, take this integer result and perform the modulus operation:

7 % 5 calculates the remainder when 7 is divided by 5. When we divide 7 by 5, it goes in once (1 time) with a remainder of 2. Therefore, 7 % 5 gives us 2.

This makes the overall result of evaluating the expression (45 / 6) % 5 equal to 2, confirming that the correct choice is indeed 2.
