Thread: Math Help

Ok, I am supposed to add some brackets to this equation:
5 + 3 * 8 / 2 + 2
So that it will equal 16, but I can't seem to get it, the closest I have come is 16.5 and 17, this question is from Sams Teach Yourself C Programming in 21 Days, I got it off of the net but I couldn't get the appendix because the site shut down, can someone help me here, it isn't necessary because I am not in a class but it is bothering me like you wouldn't believe. Not to mention headaches and screaming children, so if you would please

Don't forget the rules of operations. Mul and div are higher than add and sub when read in the same expression.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
     int result;
     
     result = (5 + 3) * (8 / (2 + 2));
     
     printf("%d", result);

     return 0;
}

If it's 16 you need, then it's 16 you get.

Well i'll be damned Ronin, thanks.

Although trust me I know all about the order of operatoins, we only did it for about a good month or so in math . Although I am still working on learning all of C's operaters and where they stand, but that would be why the question is there because that is what part of the chapter was working on, and thanks again that was driving me nuts.
