    Question Programming Contest Questions

    I am going to a computer science contest tomorrow and would appreciate some help on a few problems that I can not figure out. Any explanations would be truly appreciated. (C++ is the language used)

    1) What is the result of the following expression:
    1 + 2 , 3 * 4 , 5 / 6 , 7 - 8
    A. 3
    B. 0
    C. -1
    D. 12
    E. 14

    2) What is the result of the following expression:
    4 << 3 << 2 << 1
    A. 256
    B. 4000000
    C. 512
    D. 1000000000
    E. undefined

    Also, could someone please explain these operators?
    | & ^

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    1) Compile and print the expressions and see what you get
    2) Compile and print the expression and see what you get

    "|" is logical OR
    "&" is logical AND
    "^" is logical XOR

    1 + 2 , 3 * 4 , 5 / 6 , 7 - 8

    That is just one expression, look up the comma operator in your C++ book or online to see how it works. The answer is pretty to easy see as most of the expression is useless.
