Java Boolean Operator Precedence

Mark
< Prev
Next >

The following code segment produces an unexpected result. Which statement best explains the logical error in the if statement’s condition?

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");
    }
}
A

The comparison a > b is incorrect.

B

The operators || and && should be swapped.

C

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

D

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