Question

what is the value of the variable result after these lines of code are executed?

>> a = 10

>> b = 2

>> c = 5

>> result = a * b - a / c

the value of the variable is .

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate a * b

$a = 10$, $b = 2$, so $a\times b=10\times2 = 20$

Step2: Calculate a / c

$a = 10$, $c = 5$, so $\frac{a}{c}=\frac{10}{5}=2$

Step3: Calculate result

result=$a\times b-\frac{a}{c}$, substituting the values from step 1 and step 2, we get $20 - 2=18$

Answer:

18
