Complex Calculations and Order of Operations - Python Programming Exercise

In this exercise, you will develop a Python program to calculate and display the results of several mathematical operations. You will work with expressions such as 1 + 3 * 5, (24 + 5) % 7, 15 + (-4) * 6 / 11, and 2 + 10 / 6 * 1 - 7 % 2. This task helps you understand how Python handles different arithmetic operations, including multiplication, addition, modulus, and division, while following the correct order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction). By completing this exercise, you will gain a deeper understanding of Python syntax and how to perform complex calculations. This is a key skill for anyone looking to master programming in Python. Once you grasp these fundamental mathematical operations, you will be well-equipped to tackle more complex problem-solving tasks and develop more sophisticated programs using Python.

Complex Calculations And Order Of Operations

 Objective

Develop a Python program to calculate and display the results of the following operations:
-1 + 3 * 5
(24 + 5) % 7
15 + (-4) * 6 / 11
2 + 10 / 6 * 1 - 7 % 2

 Example Python Exercise

 Copy Python Code 
# Calculate and display the result of -1 + 3 * 5
print(-1 + 3 * 5)

# Calculate and display the result of (24 + 5) % 7
print((24 + 5) % 7)

# Calculate and display the result of 15 + (-4) * 6 / 11
print(15 + (-4) * 6 / 11)

# Calculate and display the result of 2 + 10 / 6 * 1 - 7 % 2
print(2 + 10 / 6 * 1 - 7 % 2)
