Java Boolean Operator Precedence

Question

The program’s intention is to evaluate a compound condition correctly, but it produces unexpected results. What is the mistake in the boolean expression?
 
```java
public class ParenthesesBug {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int a = 6, b = 4, c = 5;
        if(a > b || b < c && a < c)
            System.out.println("Valid range");
        else
            System.out.println("Invalid range");
    }
}
```

Accepted Answer

Missing parentheses lead to unintended operator precedence, so the condition does not evaluate as intended.

Answer

The values of b and c are swapped in the expression.

Answer

The comparison a > b is incorrect.

Answer

The operators || and && should be swapped.
