What is the result of the expression 5 / 2 in C?

A.
2
Answer
B.
2.5
C.
2.50
D.
3

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
In C, when you perform integer division, as in the expression 5 / 2, it results in the quotient without any decimal places. Therefore, the result is 2.

Option B (2.5) is incorrect because it represents the result of floating-point division, not integer division.
Option C (2.50) is incorrect because it also represents a floating-point number, which is not the result of integer division.
Option D (3) is incorrect because it doesn't consider integer division; the correct result is 2.
