The common answer is:
print(2 + 3 * (4 + 8))
This expression already correctly applies the order of operations, with parentheses ensuring that the addition inside them (4 + 8) is evaluated before being multiplied by 3, and finally adding 2. Here’s a breakdown:
- The expression inside the parentheses
4 + 8is evaluated first, resulting in12. - Then,
3is multiplied by the result (12), resulting in36. - Finally,
2is added to36, resulting in38.
The output of print(2 + 3 * (4 + 8)) will therefore be:
38
