int main()
{
  int c;
  c=(1+2*3)-6/3*4;
  printf("the result of (1+2*3-6/3*4)=%d\n",c);
  return(0);
}

Remarks

• A programmer can make the program to print anything, including the most misleading equations. For example, changing the assignment line in the above program to c=1000 will yield the output
  the result of (1+2*3-6/3*4)=1000
  which is, of course, wrong. The compiler doesn't make any attempt (and it would be very difficult indeed) to match the meaning of the text string in the printf statement to the arithmetical result.


• Note that replacing 6/3 with 7/3 or 8/3 in our program doesn't affect the result. Reason: integer division!
