Under Printf arithmetic operation precedence

#include<stdio.h> 
int main() 
{
    float a=5.0;
    printf("The Output is %.2f",(7/5)*a+12);
 }

I thought the output is 19.00 but the output is 17.00. How this is possible?. Please guide me how the output is 17.00 came....

Your 7/5 gives an integer result, in this case 1. If you want to get 1.4 you need to change to 7.0/5.0 to get a float result, which will change the result.

7/5 is 1. That's integer division. Everything after that should be clear.
