What is the value of the expression 3/4 ?

Answer:

0


Subexpressions

Most of the operators we are interested in take two operands. In each of the following examples the operator has two operands:


34 + 12 19/3 90 - sum val * x

However, unary operators take just one operand:


+93 -72 +sum -Math.PI

A binary operator will always have exactly two operands. However, sometimes one or both operands of a binary operator is a subexpression.

A subexpression is a part of an expression that is by itself a correct expression.

Sometimes a subexpression is a constant, like "8". Any expression can be a subexpression of a larger expression. In the following, both operands of the red operator are subexpressions.


2*3 + 8 (x - y) / 2.3 (sum - 2) * (sum + 3)
