Help me with C++

Not sure

edit:
opening dev-c++ to see if it compiles.

edit: found the problem, add a << in between the " 2


cout << "2 + 3 * 5 = " << 2+3*5 << endl;

should be cout << "2 + 3 * 5 = " << 2+3*5 << endl;
missing the <<

The output of the program will be:

"2 + 3 * 5 = 17"

I suppose you could technically say it would be "2 + 3 * 5 = 25", but I think I remember hearing somewhere is always does 2 + (3 * 5) unless (2 + 3) * 5 is specified. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, though

I'm rusty on the little bit of c++ I know

Thanks guys, turns out I had already figured this out lastnight, but it was late, and I am sick so I forgot, but the answer was in my text file THANKS GUYS!

wish I had c++ homework as easy as this...

Except I doubt that's what his homework is getting him to think about (I suspect the missing << operator is a typo); as homework is supposed to make you think for yourself as opposed to just getting the answer from a forum somewhere I'm not going to say exactly what the 'mistake' is except to give the following hint: operator precedence

<< is called an operator, right?

Haaay don't think I'm coming here just for answers. The reason I came here is because I thought I did do that (which I actually did, read my post a few replies up), and it still didn't compile. I know my homework is for me!

Yes, it's an insertion operator, but that's not what I was driving at...

No, I know what you were driving at. I don't think the order of operations is what he is talking about, because he says the program does not compile, and it asks why it doesn't compile. The second part of the question tests us about the operator precedence, because it asks what the program will output

My apologies; sometimes you see people posting things like this and I just wonder why the hell they're doing the course if they're just going to get someone to give them the answer without understanding what's going on. You're obviously not one of that camp!

Nah, the answer is 17, you're right. The + has a lower precedence than the multiplication. It only does left to right if the precedence is the same
