result = 2 * 3 + --num - (7 / num);
it give me runtime error rather than -1 why? it looks like decrement executed before the parentheses!

2Operator precedence is not the same as evaluation order. "It looks like decrement executed before the parentheses" It is: Java evaluates left-to-right. – Andy Turner Sep 18 '20 at 10:03

In addition to what @AndyTurner has mentioned, you will get a runtime error only when `num = 1`. – Arvind Kumar Avinash Sep 18 '20 at 10:06

I can't figure out what you are trying to do here, if num equals to zero, you can't perform 7/num operation. – Ismail Sep 18 '20 at 10:08

@Ismail presumably that's why OP says "it give me runtime error". – Andy Turner Sep 18 '20 at 10:12

I forgot to say that num =1 – khawlah Sep 18 '20 at 13:53
